Michael, I took your tip and stuck it in ~/.gimp You're absolutely right. Why make a package when I'll just keep compiling devel releases for a while? Hm, don't know whether this is a good choice - directories with a leading dot are hidden therefore usually used for settings. While it is no technical problem to do it like this, you're confusing the semantics of such directories.

Not that strict anymore, all what is requested is to make it clear that this is a development release. Some people qrgue that it is too eraly in the release cycle, OTOH binaries for the development releases could e.g. help participants of http://openusability.org/projects/gimp to evaluate more recent versions of The GIMP.
