Frank,

That's what I'm told on the Debian multimedia list. The issue is there's 
no volunteer developer to maintain it. That would be great if you'd put 
in the effort.

That's a great idea. I first suggested it in 2002.

We had that working at one time. There's a broken 'make rpm' target that 
could be fixed with maybe a day's effort. It would be great to have that 
and 'make deb' and 'make tqz' targets, too.

There are lots of ideas like that which could happen if I had capable 
developers available to do what I ask. The usual CinePaint development 
"process" is I receive random patches that I have to adapt and QA.
