#GIMP - the venerable image editor, had promised a major makeover with with non-destructive editing (with #GEGL) and advanced color space management (with #babl). That was more than 20 years ago!

While GEGL and babl were partially integrated with GIMP 2.x over the years, the full integration was left for GIMP 3.0. And now, it looks like v3.0 will finally be released in a few months!

Announcement for packagers of #babl (the color conversion engine by the #GIMP project: https://gegl.org/babl/): babl 0.1.104 just got released!

Thanks to @pippin for the awesome work, as usual.

What then gets annoying is when, suddenly, someone decides configure; make; make install is no longer good enough and you have to work out how to use meson and ninja to build something that worked perfectly before!:*

Looking at you #babl (and soon #gegl), and then eventually #Gimp , apparently!:*

Oh and when I say #Gimp I actually mean the #babl; #gegl; and Gimp repos (;*

Been quiet on Mastodon recently. I mean personally, obviously. It has been anything but quiet, what with the recent discourse, in the Fediverse itself. I've just been lurking, while playing with #Digikam

In other news, sorted out my clones of #Gimp , #GEGL , and #BABL so they now pull from the #GNOME #Gitlab repos.

I've also been pre-booked to fetch the older great-nieces from school later in the year, to take the pressure off their mother who will be having a 'caesarian' on a certain day.

Wondering if installing #Mercurial yesterday was a mistake, I've now purged it, but I wonder if that messed up my git settings?

Though oddly neither my #Mastalab or #Gimp clones have been affected. So perhaps it was something that happened with #Gitlab since both #gegl & #babl are hosted there.

Well that was curious, just had to change the origins for my clones of the #gegl & #babl repos from git:// URLs to https:// URLs

I'd really like to be able to clone the #pangocairo repo locally and build it in the same way I do with #babl & #gegl

If anyone has any thoughts on GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION checks, which is what the autogen.sh fails on, I'd be interested to hear them (:*

Still, at least now I have #babl & #GEGL and #Gimp all up to date (actually, Gimp is rebuilding again now (;* ]

Ok, bit of messing about with where #GEGL & #BABL needed installing, but I now have two #Gimp builds...

Other than the colour scheme, which I'll sort out... they are almost identical:
