I just installed gimp2 and am trying it out. I've got one question: can we have a without_python variant like in gimp-2.2.17? I added such a variant and built without any problem. I also tried a few photos with my usual operations, and everything worked fine without python. I think this variant might save some disk space and compiling time for casual gimp users like me. FYI, the variant I added is: *** variant without_python conflicts python24 { depends_lib-delete port:py25-gtk configure.env-delete PYTHON=${prefix}/bin/python2.5 configure.args-append --disable-python } *** Best Regards, Xin Liu On 7/31/07, Yves de Champlain <yves@macports.org> wrote:
Well, I have been using the unstable branch for many months now and not only does it work very well, but it also fixes some problems present in the stable branch.
Now, unstable does not necessarily mean crashy or buggy. It means that such things can (and probably will) happen, which is why I won't be upgrading gimp2 as fast as gimp-dev (gimp-dev is already at at 2.3.19).
However, if anyone experiences problems with that, I'll probably revert to stable, but I did the move after users reported problems in the stable branch that I was not experiencing with 2.3.x.
