Is there any reason why we shouldn't just update gimp to the current gimp-2 version? Nothing depends upon it according to pipping's find_dependents.pl script.
good idea, if no objections come in, I'll just do that.
I don't get it. So we'll have duplicate ports with different names?
For now, yes, but I reckon that, since nothing depends on gimp, we can just keep increasing its version to 3.x.x or whatever it becomes in the future, while leaving gimp2 as the latest 2.x.x release. This is a bit new compared to the naming scheme that seems to have been used so far, but I think would be sensible for those people and packages that want to track the latest and greatest, while giving an option for sticking with earlier versions where necessary. I've been thinking about this with respect to the docbook ports, too, particularly with the impending version 5 release. I envisage something like:
docbook412 (4.1.2) docbook43 (4.3.x) docbook44 (4.4.x) docbook45 (4.5.x) docbook4 (4.x.x) docbook50 (5.0.x) docbook5 (5.x.x) docbook (whatever the latest is)
There might be consequences, however, how we maintain ports in future, and it also seems like a bit of a departure from how things have been done before, so it might be best to hold off until there has been some wider discussion, especially on macports-dev (where I've been intending to raise this anyway). Still, I think that the fact that people are expecting the gimp port to be the latest version is understandable and a sensible thing to try to conform to.
