I was going to say you want http://apt-get.org/ but it looks like we're all left wanting. This may help: http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=gimp I believe there's a separate list for website changes; if this works, perhaps you'd like to suggest a link to http://getdeb.net/ there?

[Gimp-developer] misleading / missing install instructions on website
Whenever a new bugfix release is released, the Gimp homepage has a news item. In it are install instructions saying: "Binary packages for the various supported platforms should become available soon; please check the Downloads section. " Now, I'm using Ubuntu so if I scroll down to the Ubuntu section in the download page I get this: "Ubuntu or Debian users can simply run apt-get install gimp to get the latest stable release of GIMP." Now here's the thing: unless you change the software sources, the version of Gimp you're going to get using that is NOT the latest bugfix release but the one your version of Ubuntu came with - 2.6.1 in the case of Ubuntu 8.10. Is there a way to install 2.6.4 (or any other bugfix version or developer snapshot) on Ubuntu? Are there alternate software sources that should be specified? If so, what are they and can they be added to the install instructions on the website? ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
