Comment (by devans@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign@…]:
 > I did try to make a libmypaint port at one point, however mypaint and
 libmypaint appear to be in rapid concurrent development, since several
 years; they probably need to be updated simultaneously. There are no tags
 or releases for libmypaint, so until such a time it would be a libmypaint-
 devel port.

 separately, and then tell mypaint to use a separate libmypaint rather than
 its bundled copy. I don't remember if I had looked into these issues
 already.

 No need to waste a lot of time on this.  Just thought there might be a
 market for a libmypaint subport for people who want to use the library
 from another app without necessarily having to install MyPaint itself.

 The main thrust of this ticket is to enable GEGL support in libmypaint in
 order to be able to test its use in the GIMP devel ports.  In this case,
 it might actually be useful to have the app as well so as to be able to
 compare the functionality in MyPaint
 with that in GIMP.
