Thorsten:
I was able to install on my 13.0 Ubuntu, and it worked great for a couple of hours, was quite snappy, too! However, shortly thereafter, Gimp began refusing to open newly created 16 bit tiff files (see my post earlier re: Gimp 2.9.1 Plug-in crashed: "file-tiff-load"

Are you able to offer any clues behind this error message? Why would it have worked for a while, then stop working, and why do those files with which I had success continue to open, but new files not? Curious.

Great work though, thanks. Loved it while I had it.

Hi, folks,

Success!

FYI: If you need to install a Gimp developer snapshot - just call it Gimp 2.9.1 - on Ubuntu Raring and Saucy try this:

https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/gimp-experimental/

But consider it's experimental. Use it on your own risk!

PS: I could not made packages for Precise and Quantal because of a dependency issue: Gimp 2.9 needs at least Glib 2.36. I will try to build
a standalone version for "older" Ubuntus which will carry it's own packages.

Sorry for that

Hi, folks,

the PPA location has been changed. Now and forever (:-D) you will find it here: https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/gimp-edge

Regards

Otto

I'm just the packager not the developer. But I think all those things are subject to change. It's just a development snapshot.

No problem at all.
