[gentoo-user] gimp doc

[Andrew Gaydenko]

Hi!

There are two packages related to gimp doc:

app-doc/gimp-user-manual-2.0
app-doc/gimp-help-2.4.2

What is the difference between them, and which one to install for absolute 
beginner? (I'm interested in because of limited traffic)

I believe gimp-help is in-program help (F1) while the manual is the
user's manual, which is probably more up-to-date and easier to read on
the website:

http://docs.gimp.org/

You can probably skip the two packages, and just use the WWW (unless
you have an offline setup).

Good luck,
Paul

Interestingly, "USE=doc emerge gimp" pulls in neither of these
packages. I would have expected it to have required at least one of
them. Should this be raised as a bug on the bugzilla?

I was under the understanding that 'doc' USE flag pulls in API/developer docs, 
not user docs. Could be wrong....

That's usually the case, but not always.
