Development in Gentoo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

Hi. Is there anyone here doing GIMP development inside Gentoo? I very recently switched my development machine over from Debian to Gentoo. At the Gentoo forums they showed me how to use the overlays to get glib-2.21.4, but I didn't see an overlay for >=gegl-0.1.0 or >=babl-0.1.0.

If you could tell me how you went about installing recent versions of these two libs (within the Portage system) I be appreciative.

There are no overlays for these that I know of. The latest gegl and babl ebuilds in portage are for version 0.0.22. This bug report:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259851

has gegl-9999 and babl-9999 ebuilds to do svn builds which is probably what you really want anyway. Just drop them into your local overlay directory and you should be good to go.

As a general rule if you need an ebuild and you can't find an off the self ebuild in portage or a public overlay you will almost always find one in the bug reporting system. Also in many cases you can also just copy the existing ebuild into your local overlay and rename it (IE. change the version in the file name) and it will work. For details on using a local overlay check the documentation on the gentoo web site.

It also might be a good idea to open a bug report to ask for portage to be updated to have version 0.1.0 ebuilds.
