[arch-general] Gimp and gimp-devel
Hello, why are there two packages gimp and gimp-devel with exactly the same version number? Would one not be enough? Regards Stefan
we usually just keep -devel sticvking around once the gimp devel package gets up to snuff. so when 2.7.x becomes usable gimp-devel will cover that while gimp stays at the 2.6 level. -Tobias On Sat, 25 Oct 2008, stefan-husmann@t-online.de wrote:

Stefan because gimp and gimp-devel have different maintainer. And when gim 2.6 was out, only the gimp-devel maintainer update the packages. Then later gimp was updated too. But until new packages for development versions are out, the gimp-devel packages would be the same. 2008/10/24 stefan-husmann@t-online.de <stefan-husmann@t-online.de>
