[linux-audio-dev] Linux is free

Or, either you do it in N months or someone else do it in a week. The sentence "you have someone else do it" does not sound very realistic: 8 years ago I suggested first time a simple rectangular re-adjustable selection tool to GIMP. Once again I suggested it a few weeks ago and the task was again "assigned" to me even I asked a coder with who together I could have implemented the thing. Now GIMP does not compile in my Linux which means automatic delay of several months (more likely a year) before I have a change to get new Linux distribution. The tool would be highly needed as GIMP does not have a re-adjustable rectangular selection tool (it's currently only "if it went wrong, start from beginning"). Like having audio editor without re-adjustable selection tool. I simply don't understand why capable GIMP developers cannot implement the simple feature. There is no sense in that I should learn GIMP internals -- I could use that time for developing my own projects instead of wasting the time to sidetracks. Regards, Juhana
