Re: [Gimp-user] How to update GIMP in Ubuntu?
Hi, you can download the gimp source package from Ubuntu jaunty (which has gimp 2.6.3 packaged) and then use dpkg-buildpackage to build a gimp package for your particular system and Ubuntu distribution. This is often called doing a backport and it if often the easiest way to install a newer version.

But I recently got a Dell laptop with Ubuntu 8.04 installed. I believe it is 8.04 LTS. I'm new to ubuntu, so I wonder if you could enlighten me about its update policy. If I understand how ubuntu does things, which is highly uncertain, regular releases only receive upgrades to packages for 6 months until the next release, but the LTS releases receive upgrades for packages for three years. Is that correct? If so, can I expect gimp to be upgraded in the near future? I've compiled gimp from source before on several occasions, and the help you provided will make that easier, but I would rather not bother, since the laptop is a secondary machine for me. -- Leonard Evens Mathematics Department, Northwestern University ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] How to update GIMP in Ubuntu?
Thank you everyone for your ideas. I ended up upgrading to Ubuntu 8.1, which automagically upgraded me to Gimp 2.6.1. I'll now investigate how to make the incremental upgrade to 2.6.3 or whatever. As an aside, I had been running 8.04 LTS. I didn't realize that the "LTS" variants would not offer an upgrade to non-LTS versions. That's why one computer was running 8.10 but this one was running 8.04. I do enjoy the 2.6.x flavors of GIMP, despite the shift in interface paradigms. I know it is a small thing, but my favorite improvement is the diagonal line that shows in the curves dialog. It really does help to let me know how radical my changes are. It's such a small thing, but I appreciate it every day. Thanks again for your insight and help.

I don't think you are going to be able to do this. To do so requires a number of updated libraries, glib,gtk, babl and gegl are 4 off the top of my head and I am pretty sure the 8.04 repositories wont hold these. You can do it by building your own libraries from the sources, but I guess you don't want to do that So the only way out is to upgrade to 8.10. I understand that you can upgrade 8.04 with 8.10. but I have not tried that.
