(Long response, I'm too 'ed off by testing to trim what I'm posting!) Thanks for your comments - I took the patch from Arch (Pierre noted it on the ticket). Normally I build gimp before ffmpeg, but on this occasion I did it the other way round - which reminded me that I had to add the patch to my script ;) For the dependencies - I've been using releases/pre-releases intermittently since 2.9.6 so I knew of them. One thing you might have missed is a snafu in gimp-2.0.pc : it claims to require gegl-0.3 >= 0.4.0 (sed or a manual edit post-install can fix that). The only thing I know of which definitely needs that is is g'mic : there was a report of the (current, maintained) qt filters not building with 2.10.0 this week - and a recommendation to use the (unmaintained) gtk filters. But I've built the latest 2.2.3-pre (with the add-on qt v2.2.2 package) a few hours ago - seems to work although I can't open my raw files in 2.10.0 to thoroughly exercise g'mic, that seems to be a gimp regression since rc2 - possibly a new fix for nufraw will emerge. But what I'm currently struggling with is the help: gimp-help-2.10.0 is some way away of (lack of developers), I've been using gimp-help from git (not everything is there) but I wanted to try the online help: needs gvfs at build time, and at a guess yelp and webkitgtk at runtime - the online docs are not in html. I'm probably going to go with a copy of current git gimp-help, but it would be nice to sort out the deps for the online help. And thanks for the comment on firefox - I've got an updated patch (just updated required versions of graphite2 and harbuzz, I think) to match what 60betas have shipped with. But I was hoping there would be a newer harfbuzz release - firefox cherry-picked a patch from harbuzz-git to avoid memory leakage, although I don't think most of us will have a problem with the current release. In theory 60 should be less problematic for pulseaudio (for those of us not using systemd, which will apparently restart the daemon itself, and not using desktop environments which manage to keep the pulseaudio daemon running).
