            Bug ID: 245519
           Summary: graphics/gimp: relies on graphics/py-gimp and Python
                    2.7
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

graphics/gimp has Python support ON by default. This pulls in graphics/py-gimp
which is a rather old port and requires Python 2.7 explicitly. From the
Makefile for graphics/py-gimp:
DEPRECATED=     Uses deprecated version of python
EXPIRATION_DATE=        2020-08-15

GIMP_SLAVE=     pygimp

USES=           python:2.7
USE_GNOME=      pygtk2

The Fedora community has a similar problem, just before their 32 release:

GIMP3 is in the making and it *should* default to Python3, however no info is
available on the official Roadmap: https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Roadmap#GIMP_3.0

I can start tinkering with GIMP3 to see whether it's possible to re-use the
current Makefile, but that would still provide a "gimp-devel" port at best.

The alternative would be to disable Python support in graphics/gimp so that the
port continues building past its expiration date.
