Hi,
Does anyone know who/how/why Gimp was removed from testing? I found the links below, but to me they don't explain any valid reasons or how this decision was made (automated or by human) ? So curious how such a well known package becomes removed. And wonder how it will be available when Stable is released. https://tracker.debian.org/news/1569365/gimp-removed-from-testing/ https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gimp-plugin-registry/news/ [2024-09-25] gimp-plugin-registry REMOVED from testing [1] (Debian testing watch) https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gimp The VCS repository is not up to date [2], push the missing commits. high lintian reports 1 error and 15 warnings [3] high The package has not entered testing even though the delay is over normal https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?packages=gimp gimp [4] 2.10.38-2 error source-is-missing [5] [devel-docs/libgimp/html/libgimp-gimppaths.html] George.

I think you can enable sid (if only temporarily) and install it from there.
