Description:

It would be nice to have both gimp 2.6 (for production) and 2.7 (for bug reports and tests) installed. Currently one conflicts with the other. Would you change the install path to /opt for the 2.7 version? This info is from gimp's site (http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.7.html):

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/opt/gimp-2.7/bin:$PATH
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.7/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/opt/gimp-2.7/bin/gimp-2.7 "$@"



Additional info:
* package version(s)
gimp 2.7.x and gimp 2.6.x
This task depends upon
