I just installed Debian specifically for the purpose of accessing the latest Gimp 2.6.1 version. I changed the references in sources.list from etch to lenny. I went through all the apt-get update etc. exercises. But I still get Gimp 2.4.7.
I found a site called getdeb.net from which I can download a .deb file containing the latest Gimp. But now what do I do? I don´t find a command like e.g., rpm for decomposing and installing rpm files or gunzip etc. for gzipped files. Alternatively, is there another entry in sources.list that gets me to the version I need? Currently the file looks like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------- deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates contrib --------------------------------------------- -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
