Ever since the dropping the gimp-resynthesizer plugin= (due to Python2 deprecation) gmic was the last package to provide "heal selectio= n" functionality in GIMP. Losing gmic will put GIMP behind other image editing software by a significant margin. I'm wondering if we could collaborate with other distro developers on build= ing and improving the state of this package. E.g. Debian seems to be packaging = gmic by itself and also for gimp and krita. I wonder if it's possible to build t= he gimp plugin portion only and not deal with gmic QT frontend?
