CinePaint and Debian
An update on our Debian situation.
- CinePaint removed from Debian testing because Debian has dropped GTK1.
- Thanks to Kai-Uwe Behrmann, CinePaint supports GTK2 now.
- CinePaint's Debian maintainer retired. Nobody to upload GTK2 CinePaint.
- Thanasis Kinias, who's posted CinePaint bug reports since 2006, has objected to Debian about CinePaint being removed.

- Ongoing discussion at debian-multimedia@lists.debian.org
- Aedan Kelly may become the new maintainer. He's a maintainer for Sidux, a Debian-derived distro (http://sidux.com)
- Trying to find out what we need to do next.

Appreciate your efforts to get cinepaint back into Debian.
As a cinepaint user without deep technical skills (I am a photographer)I have changed my main desktop distribution from Debian Lenny to PCLinuxos Digital Photography edition where I have cinepaint and a good selection of other photography tools to work with.
Just thought I'd let you know
thanks for your efforts !
Good work. I'm using Mepis 8, Pclinuxos dosnt work very well on my pc. I hope to have Cinepaint again, is a great application. Cheers.
