Hi Erich, I can see you have been added to the ubuntustudio-release team on Launchpad. You should then be able to log into http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ with the release manager role. Then you will have the power to mark a release as "ready". You also have the power to trigger a rebuild of the DVD.

In my view it is too late to make such a change. We release in two weeks. If the current versions of gimp (2.8) and mypaint install fine, I would leave it that way. I thought is was only if gimp 2.10 was installed that there was the clash with mypaint? I think it would be a good idea to create
