I there a way to test new GIMP 2.7/2.8 in Fedora? I looked in Rawhide repos and I still see only 2.6x versions there. Any plans to put 2.7 in Rawhide repost for testing purposes?
Should I ask on development channel?

Rawhide is currently F-12 content so unstable packages will show up once we have a final F12 compose.

Sure, that makes sense. Thank you for your reply.

You might file an RFE bug against gimp and see what the packager says.

The problem with this is that different GIMP versions can't be installed into the same prefix. While I could package gimp/gegl/babl from git, this is far from stable ATM, so I won't replace the gimp-2.6 packages in Fedora with it. Taken together, this means I can't package unstable gimp as a Fedora package because this needs to be installable side-by-side with the stable version, meaning it needs to go into /opt or /usr/local which is a no-no from an FHS point of view (making it uneligible as a Fedora package).
At some point (time permitting), I'll probably make a (non-FHS-compliant) package, but this will just be an inofficial one which I'll e.g. put on fedorapeople.
HTH, Nils

I am running my own koji instance with results published at http://fedora.danny.cz/danny/ for exactly this purpose (bleeding edge packages, packages waiting in review queue, ...). So if you want just send me the srpm and the system will do the rest.
