I'm wondering why FreeBSD ports takes so long to update quite oldish
gimp-2.6 to gimp-2.8. Does anyone know what the stoppers are and where
solutions needed?

Some of the prerequisites for GIMP 2.8 are compiling well (as isolated
packages, not in combination with gimp 2.8), like graphics/gegel (0.2.0)
or x11/bab; 0.1.10 (port has still 0.1.6).
