GIMP on OS X

からdmgをダウンロードできるわけですが、ダウンロードする前にサイトのNewを読んでびっくり。

Hi folks,


since more than one year I'm offering GIMP packages for Mac OS X. All of the work is done by only one person, by me. This is okay as long as there's only few to do and bugs are more or less easily to squeeze out.


But now there's one major bug in GTK+, which will prevent GIMP 2.8 to work properly with tablets. This bug is in all GTK+ version 2.17 or higher. Since GIMP 2.8 depends on at least GTK+ 2.18, GIMP 2.8 will lack tablet support.


So, if you are a developer, capable of GTK+, GLIB2, GIMP, MacPorts and bash scripting, it would be nice if you'll join this project and help to make GIMP 2.8 work properly with graphic tablets on Macs.


Without your help, it's likely that GIMP 2.8 won't run on Mac OS X. Don't let GIMP on OS X die !


So, join the project, fix the bug and help offering one of the best image manipulating programs to Mac users: GIMP.

このままだとGIMP on OS Xは使えなくなる・・・と。なにかお手伝いできたら、とは思うけれど、でもタブレットは持ってないしなあ。残念。このアーティクルは昨年の11月１日付け。うーん、どうなるのやら。
