Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock X-Debbugs-Cc: gimp-h...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:gimp-help
This is a pre-upload request to unblock package gimp-help. [ Reason ] The GIMP manual has been stale for many years. The current version in the archive was released as a "test release" in 2020, but it was incomplete and didn't even cover all the new functionality in the GIMP 2.10 branch which was shipped in Debian buster. A few weeks ago, the GIMP maintainers finally released an updated version, which matches the current GIMP functionality and is translated to a number of extra languages. I'm asking for a pre-approval of this documentation-only source package. If approved, I would update this bug with the relevant parts of the diff, seek a final ack, and upload within the next week. I also plan to do an experimental upload first, in order to see the results. [ Impact ] Shipped documentation will be outdated. [ Tests ] There is no code involved, just a build system and documentation data. [ Risks ] The risk is low, as this is a documentation-only package, and its current state is pretty poor. [ Checklist ] [ ] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [ ] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] unblock gimp-help/2.10.34-1
