But in a mean time you can update the required ports manually, using this archive: http://people.freebsd.org/~rm/gimp.tgz Note: please do not just copy them over the current ports, because there is some patches, that should be removed first to make things working! And. What is wrong with rawtherapee? It's on it's latest version as far I understand. -- Regards, Ruslan Tinderboxing kills... the drives.
