Lukas, it would be great if you’re able to use MacPorts to package GIMP, and we’ll certainly do whatever we can to support your efforts!<br>
<br>
I’ll start with a quick summary of where things stand, in case you haven’t done a lot of in-depth digging yet:<br>
<br>
* glib2: We currently maintain three versions:<br>
* The default is 2.64.6, via port ‘glib2'<br>
* The next rev up is 2.66.8, via port 'glib2-devel'<br>
* And finally, the newest stable release is 2.72.3, via port 'glib2-upstream’<br>
* If you have a preference, you’ll want to install the desired one first. All dependents are setup to work with all three though, and will automatically use whichever one you have installed.<br>
<br>
* Presently we only apply a small subset of patches for GIMP and gtk-2. (Though we’ve tried to cover the heavy-hitters, particularly related to screen-update performance on the latest macOS releases.) So if there are any that fix/improve runtime behavior, let me know!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
