Can´t install GIMP 2.9

Hi.
I´m Pelayo, a pro photographer from the north of Spain. I´m trying to install GIMP 2.9 on elementaryOS (debian based), but it´s being impossible. I´m sure i´m using the correct ppa's, but every time I try to install it, 2.8 is installed. Any idea of what could be the problem?

Cheers. Pelayo

You should ask the ppa owner directly. We don't maintain any ppa package and cannot ensure they would work fine. They are done by third-party users.

In any case, to say something useful for you, after you install any ppa, you must update your locale package database, with this command (or the equivalent through some menu if you add the PPA with a graphical program):
$ sudo apt-get update

If you forgot to do this after installing the ppa, this is probably your problem.
Otherwise, I'd suggest you ask the ppa maintainer. :-)

Hi, which PPA you are using? Probably this: https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp-edge ? It works only for Ubuntu based Distros with Ubuntu >= 14.04.

Also, in case Pelayo isn't aware, 2.9 is the current development version, which will eventually become 2.10 when ready. Some features may not be complete, and it may be less stable. If looking for the latest features, and willing to live with (and ideally report) any bugs which may arise, that's great. Otherwise, it may be better to use the more stable 2.8 series for production use (perhaps that's another reason for the PPA not offering 2.9?)

Regarding GIMP 2.9, http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ says:

Development snapshots

There are no releases of the 2.9 development version yet.

Nightly builds for Windows are available at darkrefraction.com. This is unstable software, please use it at your own risk.

A detailed list of changes in the development branch is available in git.

Mark.

Hi, Pelayo,

afaik the only way to use my PPA with Gimp 2.9 is to upgrade your elementary OS to Freya, which ist Ubuntu 14.04 based.

But be aware, Gimp 2.9 is a development version!

Use at your own risk!

Yes, that's the one iḿ using, and I have had 2.9 Installed in my computer, but I changed my linux distro and when I tried to intall it again, I could only install 2.8. I know 2.9 is unstable. I develop most of my work with Darktable, but when I need to use GIMP, version 2.9 has some features that worth the risk.

Sorry, but for now I can't change this. There are fucking deep dependency issues with Ubuntu (
