Well, in the contribs for 9.0 I can see only 1.3.8, but maybe the mirror I am using is not updated: which is your mirror? Of course, if in the contribs they will provide a packaged version of gimp2, then urpmi would solve all problems (but for optimization, but of course I know that I can't get everything....!) Maybe if I wait some weeks (after the release of the final 2.0), I will have some luck. About the other point which is in discussion (introduction of a warning for updates), if my opinion can interest anybody I would say that I am against it. This for the simple reason that most of the time I use gimp at home, where I have simply a modem connection, which, of course, is most of the time of. But even at work I don't like "autoupdates". In case you will install such a check, I wish that there will be a startup screen which will let the user to disabilitate it.
