Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Cinepaint is an old GTK+ 1.2 application. It has been unmaintained for quite some time (over 18 months); the (non-DD) maintainer has been MIA since then.
Cinepaint is very buggy. Many of the menu actions do not work, and several cause an immediate segfault. Even third party plug-ins such as the Print plug-in (libgutenprintui, which I maintain) do not work. Cinepaint is also being rewritten upstream, and as such the GTK+ codebase is being abandoned. There have been a few point releases, but it is essentially dead. Cinepaint does occupy a particular niche, being the only paint program in Debian (AFAIK) that can cope with bit depths over 8, such as 16-bit RGB or CYMK. It also supports ICC colour profiles. However, given its bugginess, it is probably best removed.
