Now hmm I am the packager of Calligra (which includes Krita) for it's last two versions (2.6.0 & 2.6.1) since I'm now a Kubuntu packager. I thought that Krita is really a great app. However we aren't using KDE anymore. Even though we have KDE libs in the ISOs, I disagree that we should put it in. It's sort of not integrated. However since I'm not a member of the Ubuntu Studio Development Team, I shall not have any problems with it being added to the ISOs.
As for GIMP Paint Studio, I can absolutely volunteer to package it (since I now have more experience). However I need to find a sponsor to get it in the Ubuntu archive, otherwise we can't add it in into the ISOs. smartboyhw (Howard Chan) On 2013-2-25 上午12:28, "Len Ovens" <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sun, February 24, 2013 8:02 am, Shubham Mishra wrote: > > On 02/24/2013 09:23 PM, Len Ovens wrote: > >> This morning, a user asked about krita and was given the normal reply > >> about us only including enough apps to cover workflows etc. No problem. > >> I > >> know we have not included KDE apps in the past because of the libs it > >> pulls in.
