[Design-devel] Bug#766843: design-desktop-graphics: please also include krita

[Martin Steigerwald]

Source: design-desktop-graphics
Version: 2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

you currently have

merkaba:~> apt-cache show design-desktop-graphics | grep Depends
Depends: design-desktop, bookletimposer, compass-blueprint-plugin, compass-color-schemer-plugin, compass-fancy-buttons-plugin, compass-h5bp-plugin, compass-layoutgala-plugin, compass-normalize-plugin, compass-singularitygs-plugin, compass-slickmap-plugin, compass-susy-plugin, compass-toolkit-plugin, compass-yui-plugin, diffpdf, gimp, gimp-lensfun, gimp-plugin-registry, gtk-vector-screenshot, inkscape, libpdf-reuse-perl, libpodofo-utils, librsvg2-bin, mypaint, mypaint-data-extras, pdfposter, pdfshuffler, poppler-utils, python-cairosvg, python-scour, qpdf, ruby-compass, ruby-sass, scribus, shotwell

I think Krita would be a really nice addition to that.

https://krita.org/

The recent version (2.8.5) of it is packaged in Debian currently.

Or maybe do "gimp | krita" so people can choose? Or add Krita as recommends.

I think its a good idea to make people aware that Krita can be used as an
alternative. For the little work I do I mostly use Krita meanwhile as I find
it easier to work with.

I bet you do not want to overload the meta package with dependencies, but…
Krita is really a huge one to omit and you have mypaint in there as well.

Ciao,
Martin
