Lukas, it would be great if you’re able to use MacPorts to package GIMP, and
we’ll certainly do whatever we can to support your efforts!
I’ll start with a quick summary of where things stand, in case you haven’t done
a lot of in-depth digging yet:
* glib2: We currently maintain three versions:
* The default is 2.64.6, via port ‘glib2'
* The next rev up is 2.66.8, via port 'glib2-devel'
* And finally, the newest stable release is 2.72.3, via port
'glib2-upstream’
* If you have a preference, you’ll want to install the desired one
first. All dependents are setup to work with all three though, and will
automatically use whichever one you have installed.
* Presently we only apply a small subset of patches for GIMP and gtk-2. (Though
we’ve tried to cover the heavy-hitters, particularly related to screen-update
performance on the latest macOS releases.) So if there are any that fix/improve
runtime behavior, let me know!
Cheers,
-Chris
