gimp-2.0!

[Robert Meyer]

If you get the sources, look for a '.spec' file in the top level directory.  If
it's there, you can use 'rpmbuild' to make the RPM.  So you could get the
source, patch it and then run 'rpmbuild -ba specfile' to build the RPMs.  They
will wind up in /usr/src/ and you can just install them from there.

Cheers!
