Gimp 2.6 is less than a year old and still somewhat buggy. I can see people trying to maintain a stable platform not wanting to jump to it yet. Especially for a desktop app in what is primarily a server distro. Also, CentOS is designed to track Red Hat, so it's probably the RH folks making the call. > You should ask them to include a current release of > GIMP.

Perhaps, but reinstalling Linux is a lot scarier than upgrading a few packages or even upgrading to a new version of the same distro. If you're trying to do programmed image manipulation from a web app, the Gimp might not be the best choice. Have you considered alternatives? Perhaps ImageMagick? _______________________________________________ Gimp-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
