mtPaint 3.40 - Debian package for Lucid
Posted: Thu 29 Dec 2011, 17:36
Proper debian versions for Lucid Precise and Tahr are located HERE
________________________________________________
Here's the reason I first became interested in
putting together a debian package of mtpaint.
I installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx on my computer and looked
around for a debian package of mtpaint but all
I could find was version 3.31 .
There must be a reason why people are not upgrading
to a more recent version, but I don't know that reason.
I was able to get mtpaint 3.34.78 to work on Lucid Lynx
as well as Lucid Puppy 528 , but I didn't test printing
which is known to be difficult.
This is the first time that I've made a debian package but
it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
I would be interested in test reports, for instance
can it be used in more recent Ubuntu versions and
Debian linux?
The best feature in this version
of mtpaint is the dock which allows
layers to be used more effectively.
I included the locales for foreign language since
this is the common practice for debian packages.
Warning: Don't try this package on Slacko!
Get a proper pet package. (The reason is
a libtiff alias.)
