[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6 download for Ubuntu
Hi everyone, Gimp webpage states: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ Ubuntu, Debian Ubuntu or Debian users can simply run apt-get install gimp to get the latest stable release of GIMP Ubuntu repos states 2.4.6 is the latest: # apt-get install gimp Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done gimp is already the newest version. [snip] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded. Thus I presume I don't have the correct Gimp repositories enabled Ubuntu ones are not up-to-date for my version 8.04. Does anyone know which ones these are, and if I change to another repos for Gimp, will I loose all the modifications, additional paintbrushes and plugins that I have added over the past six months as these might located in a different file structure? Regards, S. PS. I don't think these Emails are getting through to the Gimp mailing list because I never receive these myself. If someone does receive any of my list Emails please let me know. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6 download for Ubuntu
Hello, Ubuntu repos states 2.4.6 is the latest: This is correct for Ubuntu 8.04. See http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gimp Thus I presume I don't have the correct Gimp repositories enabled Ubuntu ones are not up-to-date for my version 8.04. There are no (official) GIMP repositories, and it's not intented that Ubuntu 8.04 repos contain newer software than available at 8.04 release (except security and critical updates). If you need newer software versions, upgrade to 8.10 which contains GIMP 2.6.1. Or manually install GIMP 2.6 for Ubuntu 8.04: http://www.gimpusers.com/news/2008-10-07/compile-gimp-260-for-ubuntu-804.html Or use ready-to-go .deb packages for GIMP 2.6 on Ubuntu 8.04, if you can find them. will I loose all the modifications, additional paintbrushes and plugins that I have added over the past six months as these might located in a different file structure? When you do a normal upgrade, you shouldn't loose anything. -- Richard H.
