HOWTO

# gimp 2.2.10
# ===========
# Slackware 8.1 and 9.0's 'gimp' packages include version 1.2.3 (9.0 also has
# 1.3.12 in "extra"), 9.1's includes 1.2.5 (with 1.3.20 in "extra"),
# 10.0's includes 2.0.2, 10.1's includes 2.2.3, and 10.2's includes 2.2.8

# gimp 2.x can be installed at the same time as gimp 1.2.x, so if you have
# an old version installed and you still need/want it for some reason, you
# can leave it.  If you run Slackware <= 9.1 and want to keep 1.x, do not
# run 'removepkg gimp' below.  This version will be installed (the binary) as
# 'gimp-2.0'.  A 'gimp' symlink will point to that.  To run the older version,
# run 'gimp-1.2'.  Be aware that gimp 2.0.x and 2.2.x must be installed to
# different prefixes to co-exist.
