One is a patch for a GExiv2 version below the one we now require, the
second is a patch for GIMP which is now committed and pushed.
Cf. commit 7ed68556c7.
This is based from changes in wip/release/2-99-8 branch or the Flathub
flatpak (so not necessarily released yet):
- libheif bumped to 1.12.0
- Cairo with new patch to fix#235.
… to GIMP not text layer rendering in image
Patch was merged n Cairo today, wouhou!
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/-/merge_requests/114
If not mistaken, the fix should then appear in Cairo 1.17.6 or 1.18.0
(whatever comes next). As we are obviously not going to bump the Cairo
dependency so early, let's just add the patch, at the very least to be
used for our official builds. Also this way, we won't forget about this
issue in the future when we need to bump Cairo.
Adding 2 temporary patches for our builds:
- gexiv2-mr20.patch: to be applied over GExiv2 0.12.1. This patch is
already contributed upstream so it won't be necessary once GExiv2
0.12.2 is released.
- 0001-Issue-5863-do-not-raise-WARNINGs-on-Exiv2-unsupporte.patch: to be
applied over GIMP master branch itself. It depends on GExiv2 0.12.2 so
I cannot push it to master until we bump GExiv2 minimum requirement
(which can only happen when v0.12.2 is out then available in Debian
testing, as per our dependency rules).
For the time being, while waiting for upstream releases, all we can do
is wait and apply these patches on our own dev builds (because this bug
is annoying and was reported to us quite a few times already).
