https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/ is outdated
Problem:
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/ should be updated. it's been on this same thing for over an year or more now.
Impact
This is truly frustrating. I would rather see smth like "this page is no longer maintained and wont be update for forseeable future" so that i can atleast be assured that i need not check that again and again.
Solution: any proposal?
- link https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/jobs for nightly build (that's what they said in IRC) can be given and also some instructions therefore (i.e. how to find the correct job for ur system, and where/what to download - job artifact)
- "no promises as o what you will get, and if you use gimpfor other things, back up your profile directory first" https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/GIMPProfile/ can also be linked
- also instuctions like "from job you need to download it an run gimp-prefix/bin/gimp-wrapper.cmd" should be given within the job zip package itself (for example maybe in readme file)
- reference/link to https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Building/Windows and other similar pages can be given for building from source
