[gentoo-dev] GIMP 1.2 has gotta die

Hi,

Just had an irc-talk with allanonjl and I'm now co-maintaining gimp.
I want to remove old gimp 1.2 soon (a bunch of bugs could be closed and we 
could get rid of that symlink-hack for the bins). If you have any objections, 
cry now (but expect that I want you to maintain that stuff if you cry).

cu,

Hanno

Looks like that will break media-gfx/frontline (=media-gfx/gimp-1.2*)
and gimp-freetype-0.2-r3 (also =media-gfx/gimp-1.2*).

/me has no vested interest, was just checking reverse deps in case it
impacted any of the gimp perl deps

frontline is dead upstream, has no metadata and last changelog-entry is about 
a year old, so I suspect there's not much interest in it.
gimp-freetype has newer versions stable on all archs, so removal of old 
versions shouldn't hurt.

I agree with killing gimp 1.2. The last gentoo revision to the ebuild
was October 7th, 2005. Nearly a year old. Theres also a ton of bugs
(just looking at the bug list, #123028, #135566, and probably others
that I'm too tired to look up) on it. For frontline, if I found the
right frontline, its made for Gnome 1.4. Kill it as well. Or, if people
complain enough, put it in an overlay so the few people that *do* need
to use it can.
