Bug 245519: graphics/gimp: relies on graphics/py-gimp and Python 2.7
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245519



--- Description ---
graphics/gimp has Python support ON by default. This pulls in graphics/py-g=
imp
which is a rather old port and requires Python 2.7 explicitly. From the
Makefile for graphics/py-gimp:
DEPRECATED=3D	Uses deprecated version of python
EXPIRATION_DATE=3D	2020-08-15

GIMP_SLAVE=3D	pygimp

USES=3D		python:2.7
USE_GNOME=3D	pygtk2

The Fedora community has a similar problem, just before their 32 release:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1737933

GIMP3 is in the making and it *should* default to Python3, however no info =
is
available on the official Roadmap: https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Roadmap#GIMP_=
3.0

I can start tinkering with GIMP3 to see whether it's possible to re-use the
current Makefile, but that would still provide a "gimp-devel" port at best.

The alternative would be to disable Python support in graphics/gimp so that=
 the
port continues building past its expiration date.
