Gimp 2.8.10 has a nasty error that makes working hard: (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719593#c4) The outline of the brush tools is not shown (“Edit”/“Preferences” there “Image Windows” and there “Show brush outline”). It is about pencile, paintbrush, eraser, airbrush, clone, healing, blur/sharpen, smudge, etc. To correct it there are two possible solutions: Variant 1: update gimp with all its sub ports to 2.8.14 (Too much for my person to do, I think) Variant 2: The Patch mentioned in the Gimp-Bug above. One can find it (amongst others) e.g. there https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-changes/2013-December/098857.html I have taken out the relevant part and made a patch (see the attachment in my following comment—I want to enter the FreeBSD Bug number in a comment in the Makefile). My patch (on top of r371335 of the ports tree) will add an if-clause in the Makefile of graphics/gimp-app that will apply the (also included) patch »files/2_8_10_patch-brush-outline-not-displayed-bz719593.diff« iff the ${PORTVERSION} == 2.8.10. There will be a comment in the Makefile telling the person who will update gimp to a newer version to remove these lines and the mentioned patch file. Regards, Kalten

A commit references this bug: Author: kwm Date: Tue Dec 9 15:04:24 UTC 2014 New revision: 374400 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/374400 Log: Update to 2.8.14. This fixes a bug in the brush tool [1] Use new GIMP master site macro. Drop :keepla from USES=libtool Remove intltool, libartlgpl2 and gnomehier from USE_GNOME. Intlhack already implies intltool, gnomehier is obsolete now that pkg handles directories and libartlgpl2 is unused.
