Thank you but I do not understand why should wait for the GNOME...
I understood why but what I don't understand why GIMP is not an independent app. There are many GIMP users which they don't use GNOME...As lebarondemerde has told you: GNOME blocks the Gimp update because there are some necessary dependencies that break the current GNOME version from ports.
GNOME team will take care to update Gimp after closing PR 229761.
I understood why but what I don't understand is why is GNOME not an independent app. There are many GIMP users which they don't use GNOME...
GIMP uses a lot of the same libraries as Gnome. So while it's an independent application its dependencies are also used by other applications like Gnome. So if you update GIMP and its dependencies those dependencies are going to break other applications (like Gnome) that depend on those same dependencies. In order to make sure everything stays consistent you have to update everything else too.I don't understand why GIMP is not an independent app.
