Hi folks, just want to send some heads up info about the GIMP package in the RHEL-9 release. As some of you might notice, the GIMP package is missing in RHEL-9. The reason for this is it's requirement of Python 2, which isn't supported in RHEL-9 any more. During the RHEL-9 prep phase, I gave the information that GIMP authors are working on a new GIMP 3 release, which is going to use Python 3 and once the GIMP 3 is released, the GIMP package will appear in RHEL-9 again. Carrying this in mind I would like to ask you - *don't* create a gimp branch for EPEL9 as it would create additional problems later once the GIMP 3 is available. Thank you for your understanding and wish you all the best in 2022.

Exciting news, is there a link to the ticket(s) the GIMP folks need help with? Odds are I'm not qualified but I'd be happy to look.
