Gimp and Gimp-Edge PPAs are moving
#1
People that use Gimp under Ubuntu can add a PPA to their software sources, so that Gimp is updated from it instead of being non-updated from the repos. The people behind the PPA have sent a notice that the PPA is moving:

You are welcome in order to build the best Gimp stack packages ever.

The 'buntu repos & ppa were slow yesterday (morning). I was updating my 2.9.7 (for my appimage) and had to check my ISP speed in case it was my end.

As of now

https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasc...gimp-edge/ Gimp 2.9.7 is working

https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasc...buntu/gimp Gimp 2.8.22 is working and gmic packages updated.

This is a bit strange, not sure what is happening, but

https://launchpad.net/~otto-meier/+archi.../gimp-edge is working, but has not been updated since the initial announcement

https://launchpad.net/~otto-meier/+archive/ubuntu/gimp is working and looks like an alternative for Gimp 2.8.22

I was a bit worried about that PPA, tried it with Gimp 2.10.20 (in a VM). Would it get updated to 2.10.22 ? and how long would it take ?

Only took a few days for the new release and I see that there is an update. Maybe this will fix the avif format import/export plugin. (the flatpak Gimp 2.10.22 has working AVIF - it can make very small files sizes but how much support at the moment? )

As far as I know, you still need to install python2 support as this post: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Heal-S...4#pid18354 I had to do that with the first install.

True. I've updated mine from 2.10.20 to 2.10.22. Didn't have to reinstall Python then.
Panda Jim issued an update yesterday ... with language files.

I use GMIC-Qt and install it from GMIC official website:
http://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/

Use the command to hold GMIC, so that there will be no interference when updating GIMP.
Code:
sudo echo gmic hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections

sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep hold        # Check if the hold is successful
sudo echo gmic install | sudo dpkg --set-selections        # Unhold
