#61586: gimp +quartz does not build under Big Sur
----------------------------+--------------------

 Priority:  Normal          |  Milestone:
Component:  ports           |    Version:
 Keywords:                  |       Port:  gimp
----------------------------+--------------------
 I installed MacOS 11.0 Big Sur and, as usual, uninstalled all ports and
 reinstalled them again.  But "port install gimp +quartz" failed, because
 the package py27-gobject could not be installed.

 This is a known issue: grep the ticket database for py27-gobject to know
 more - but nobody is maintaining this package, and the result is that GIMP
 (+quartz) cannot be installed and used under Big Sur.

 What should I do?  Maybe uninstall all the +quartz packages required by
 GIMP +quartz and fall down to GIMP X11?  I dislike very much the X11
 interface...  But waiting until a kind soul will maintain py27-gobject
 seems useless, and to switch to another (paid) program for photo
 retouching will be the only chance.
