Scratched an itch, and caused tons of confusion in a community. Horrible. > > > So why worry?

It's not even clear to people that they are using a patched GIMP. Maybe I should take Fedora, rename it "Debora", but only on the CD packaging, and rename the rpm command to "dpkg", and make 1/2 the command line options to it match dpkg, and maybe changing some help text here and there, and release it as something that eases the transition from Debian to Fedora. And lag a couple months behind Fedora on all bug fixes, so Debora users don't upgrade, even for security critical bugs. Also, push all the support concerns onto Fedora proper, they'd be thrilled to handle it right? And I'm sure Fedora users would love hearing about "dpkg" on their lists and not be confused at all. I'm scratching an itch. It's all good, right? -Yosh _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
