Since !1171 we can use the CI scripts locally, but the initial implementation,
after some commits, revealed to be troublesome. So, now reworked to be simple.
As noted by Jehan, the way of defining the (many) GIMP versions can change.
So, let's take the GIMP version directly from the generated config.h file.
Also, changes the declaration of some variables to conform with "best pratices".
This list is referenced in the gimp-web-devel site, and my initial
implementation, in terms of ease to use, was a throwback.
Also, make the CI code more simple without changing the list file.
The rest of the time, we want to use HEAD of their main branches.
The last ctx update seem to have broken the CI build on Windows. While we'll
have to fix this, let's do this after we release GIMP.
Anyway we obviously don't want to use unstable code for actual point releases,
so it's a good thing that this made me think of adding such rules.
Here, the instructions was hard to find in the middle of maintainer stuff.
Also, be able to build GIMP without dev-oriented distros is something very
desirable, and the gimp-web-devel is the suited place fot it.
Aaaargh! I think this was the main issue which would explain why the problem was
mostly happening on the packaging job. In this job, we were still consistently
calling `pacman --noconfirm -Suy` (i.e.g "Synchronizing package databases")
which we had stopped to do for the CI builds as that was highly increasing
chances of locking pacman's process.
Fixing a case where the script continued after a failed `ninja`. After further
testing on how `set -e` works, it looks like a toplevel `false && true` command
will fail the script (which is what we want), but it won't when inside an `if`
block!
Breaking it down into 2 separate calls fail the script correctly though. So
let's do this.
MSYS2 pacman gets randomly stuck on Windows/Aarch64. The actual issue is still
being investigated by upstream projects, though anyway it's bad for us right
now, to the point that there are discussions to remove Aarch64 support from the
Windows installer (whereas it just got added recently!) in #10729.
This is an attempt to a workaround. Instead of getting stuck forever and waiting
until the whole job times out (per Gitlab CI settings), I time-out (after 3
minutes) the pacman command within our script and try again, up to 2 more times.
Hopefully one of the calls would succeed.
I also send a SIGKILL through the timeout (though I have no idea how signals
translate to Windows processes) and run again taskkill after this, which may
seem overkill. Interestingly I get output for both, which seems to indicate that
the kill succeeds in both cases (because of several processes?).
Anyway clearly it's a bit of random code not completely understood, but the
inability to test this all locally clearly doesn't help so it's good enough for
the time being.
See: https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/4340
While this is the job of `set -e`, putting parts of the script in shell
functions hid error returns in the build-deps-msys2 script.
Cf. #10729.
For the build-gimp-crossroad script, let's just add `set -e`.
Cf. #10725.
The list contains, in addition to the GIMP deps, all babl and GEGL deps.
So, let's use it.
Also, nothing new under the sun. We already use a unique list on the
Windows build instruction page (for stable branch) and do the same to
Debian image job.
As suggested by Jehan, the manifest will be configured by meson.
Of course, for CI compliance, this pushes the job to a further stage:
'packaging', which is what Flatpak is about, after all.
The distribution job name has also been changed, because when Store job
is merged, this will be the new nomenclature of the distribution jobs,
which was not changed since !1171 by lack of time.
There is no point in keeping .patches in our source since we aren't applying
them and there are "backup" MRs in GTK: GNOME/gtk!3275 and GNOME/gtk!4432.
Now, the script reads the major.minor version automatically from the main
meson.build file, reducing maintenance work, which is already especially
high regarding flatpak because of the natural hashes updates etc.
Also, a small organization made to make the code more humanly readable.
As consensus on Windows contributors, it is more useful for most users
the generation of the desktop shortcut by default.
Now, users who don't want it should uncheck the option in custom install
or manually delete the shortcut after a full install.
The 'jhbuild' build of GIMP (Windows only) was added in 2013 and then maintained
by only one contributor (it even offered unnoficial nightly builds) until 2017,
when it never received a new jhbuild-specific commit again.
After so long, update it to keep up with current development status is quite hard,
so it is reasonable to remove this already dead version of GIMP.
* Fixes an ARM .patch that stop to working after !1171, causing job fail
* Changes the logic of system upgrade (pacman -Syyuu) to be less redundant
This also improves consistency with the Debian jobs
- Fix "no icons" errors generating loaders.cache with .cmd (CI-Cross).
! This is a sub-optimal fix, but it's better than a useless build.
- Fix "no interpreter" errors generating .interp with Meson (CI-Native)
and generating .interp and copying .typelib with .cmd (Local-Native).
! This is a sub-optimal fix to Local-Native, but plug-ins will work.
- Fix "no iso" error copying iso_639.xml with Meson (Local-Native).
The Inno installer scripts contents (only 3 files: files, gimp3264 and
32on64) and filenames have been organized, making them much easier to
read, and slightly less hardcoded so less prone to being misunderstood
and pervasively receiving packaging stuff.
Just to be clear, one more time: the Inno installer (or future MSIX)
scripts never should be the center of attention. This "installcentrism"
caused a domino effect of partially "abandoning" the packaging, build.sh
and the meson scripts, which explains the existence of this MR...
(Some things still hardcoded since wildcards in Inno are very limited.
Also, the rational ordering principles of this MR were not applied since
these scripts are heavily based on the x86 .zip package and changing the
order of things here, according to my tests, breaks things quite easily)
The CI crossbuild job now use the same main script (and the same
sub-scripts of linking and debug generation) of the native CI for
packaging. These unified scripts greatly facilitates maintenance.
The crossbuild deps script is now more consistent in relation to the
native one. As this is polished, the cross one is now polished too.
A crossroad gimp build script was created with a more clear code.
Also, finally make the script for packaging only, removing build step
stuff that shoudn't be here (glib-schemas generation) since this causes
disparity with the Local native build; and adding some packaging
decisions that shoudn't be in the installer scripts (eg. specific
folders of ghostscript, glib; no share/themes), which also facillitates
INNO (and future MSIX) maintenance.
The local builds now can use the same script of CI for sake of time.
The compatibility layer is very simple and makes the script more
used/tested, therefore more reliable.
The local builds now can use the same script of CI for sake of time.
The compatibility layer is very simple and makes the script more
used/tested, therefore more reliable.
Also, remove some redundacy on the code for better maintenance.
Now, we have only ONE list applicable for build-deps-crossroad.sh,
build-gimp-msys2.sh and package-gimp-msys2.sh, instead of hardcoding
3 times. This unified list greatly facilitates maintenance.
Debian changes:
- Since autotools has gone, we don't need to specify 'meson' in the
debian job and others.
- The "INSTALL_PREFIX" was renamed for the more usual "GIMP_PREFIX" and
the meson sintax of Debian jobs was also updated.
Windows changes:
- Then, clarify that the win64-nightly and win32-nightly jobs are, in
fact, in the 'packaging' step, since we don't really "distribute" GIMP
in .zip and the commands are almost the same of the packaging .SH
script, without scripted optimizations for Inno Installer (or future
.MSIX), crucial for distribution.
- We don't need to specify "native" sufix in any build since they are
the rule and cross builds are the exception.
General changes:
- The job names was changed to be more consistent and in accordance
with the folders present in the artifacts.
- The 'nightly' sufix was removed from the Inno Windows Installer job
and others, since this doesn't reflect the real build frequency.
- The scripts filenames are altered to stay "in order". This is not
essential but ultra convenient since it is easy to view and search.
(The -uni suffix is explained in a further commit)
- All artifacts names now have the commit to avoid apparently duplicate
files when downloading same step artifacts from different projects.
- Finally, rearrange the order of jobs rationally: first the OSes and
archs (from the most free and modern to the most closed and legacy),
then the stages (from 'prepare' to 'analysis'), ending with the
frequency of jobs (from the most frequent, called at each push, to
the least/weekly).
Overall, this changes, although difficult to review at the first
sight, will avoid in the future quite "dumb" issues like:
GNOME/gimp#10195
This is in part a port of commit 6f921b27bb from gimp-2-10 branch, except that I
could not easily cherry-pick because too much had changed already in the master
branch.
There are also a bunch of additional changes in some other glue scripts.
Also some rules which were in the 2.10 branch don't apply to the main one, such
as Python being copied from the x86 binaries, since clang-aarch64 has Python3
(unlike Python2).
See discussion in #9170 and !1091. It looks like this soon won't be a problem
with a recent llvm-windres (which is now patched). But until then, let's patch
upstream GIMP but only for this build.
Note: the additional `rm` call was done for this error:
> + mv _install-arm64 /home/SYSTEM
> mv: cannot move '_install-arm64' to '/home/SYSTEM/_install-arm64': Directory not empty
I guess the home directory is not properly wiped-out between runs, which is not
a huge problem as long as the runner is private to our project. Let's clean
things ourselves.
This localization was added recently but it was not in the installer scripts.
Discovered with unit testing: meson test gimp:build / windows-installer-langs
Organizing sub-dependencies into modules helps. Later if for instance we need to
remove or change OpenEXR, we know that they are related and that Imath can be
removed if we remove OpenEXR.
See: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/9653#note_1780587
Looking at MSYS2 logs, it looks like they very recently "fixed" the search paths
for lua files, which in turn broke our workaround (searching in subdirectories
of bin/ instead of share/ and lib/).
This should work better (though untested) with the workaround removed now.
Commit on luajit package at MSYS2:

The creation of the BMP welcome images for the Windows installer (part of
-Dwindows-installer=true build option) fails in the Windows job. After much
debugging, I could run GIMP, yet it was not enough. One of my hypothesis so far
is that the environment variables for DLLs won't work, since all the DLLs must
be in the same directory as the main binary (though with the WSL thing, I am
unsure, maybe it is still supposed to work), which only happens once GIMP is
installed. So GIMP runs successfully but not plug-ins.
Anyway I wasted too much time working on this and without a local Windows, it
just takes too long (mostly testing thanks to the CI) and is frustrating. Let's
just move to building both the localization files and the images on the main
Debian job (gimp-meson-debian), then use these as dependencies of the
win-installer-nightly job, i.e. when building the installer.
The common order logic for list of directories in environment variables is that
left paths have precedence. This is at least the case for LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and
probably GI_TYPELIB_PATH too).
Make sure that our local libraries and introspected binaries (in the build
directory) are used and not any version installed on the system or by previous
`ninja install` calls.
This was a first attempt at fixing this error on the CI:
> Cannot open display:
Though it was not enough (see next commit calling plug-ins as non-interactive
when called without interface), it is still a useful change overall.
… being installed.
There is already most of the main code logic for this, though now plug-ins need
to be in their own subdirectories, which breaks for plug-ins/common/ and
plug-ins/python/, while I needed plug-ins in both these categories to generate
the Windows installer welcome images (file-png, and python-fu-eval in
particular).
Once again, meson was not very helpful, since all its functions still refuse to
output generated files in subdirectories, so I end up duplicating plug-in files
with a custom Python script.
This should fix the CI. It was working on my machine as GIMP was installed, but
such a build rule should work even without GIMP installed.
This will also be useful in the future when we'll want to run unit tests of
plug-ins through the finale GIMP binary itself.
After discussion with Jernej, InnoSetup should now work better with rescaling
a big image properly to the window size, yet the ratio should still matter.
Apparently the welcome image is a hack and this is why it requires specific
ratio images. We don't use the big size yet, but since Jernej told me which
dimensions are expected, I already added the code for it to make it easier
later.
So anyway this code would allow us not to have to commit welcome images each
time, which are basically resized copy in BMP of the splash screen, slowly yet
surely filling up our repository with image duplicates.
After all, we develop a scriptable image editor! We should use it to edit images
and export in expected formats!
I only use this script for the devel installer for now, for testing and see how
it goes.
While some packages may be needed only when building (and others only when
packaging), we should probably have a shared list of packages needed for both
steps so that we avoid discrepancies which lead to missing libraries in our
installer.
See: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/9653#note_1777596
Don't set both a branch and a commit, otherwise flatpak-builder will
compare the HEAD of this branch (which may evolve with the commit).
Fixes:
> Failed to download sources: module qoi: Git commit for branch master is dfc056e813c98d307238d35f7f041a725d699dfc, but expected f6dffaf1e8170cdd79945a4fb60f6403e447e020
Because of this, the script was failing to get the version string, which
in turn was breaking InnoSetup.
This fixes the following InnoSetup bug:
> Error on line 116 in C:\_r\_builds\k3_3muaB\0\GNOME\gimp\build\windows\installer\gimp3264.iss: Value of [Setup] section directive "VersionInfoVersion" is invalid.
… for Windows.
Though it's useless for actually building the GIR files, we still need
this package now, for building script-fu with introspection abilities,
to generate GIMP and GEGL enums.
See the 2 previous commits for more information.
Switch to NASA-maintained cfitsio library for loading/exporting FITS images.
This allows us to import compressed FITS files (GZIP, HCOMP, PLIO, RICE) in
8/16/32 bit and float/double precision. It also simplifies export code using
the built-in cfitsio APIs.
It is actually available in the SDK but was removed from the runtime (relatively
recently, it would seem). As a more general rule, it seems that GNOME is phasing
it out slowly in favor of libappstream. So probably we should do the same
eventually.
Yet for now, to at least have a working nightly flatpak, let's add it to our
package.
I'm actually syncing with a branch which I can't test right now because flathub
seem to have some breakage. For the nightly, let's just directly push as anyway
we can't test in Gitlab MRs either because of the non-master jobs timeout.
See: https://github.com/flathub/org.gimp.GIMP/pull/202
We should always keep the diff between these files to a minimum.
- Fix the markdown styling.
- Add commands on how to build GIMP from the local repository instead of a brand
new clone (otherwise I don't see how one could develop with flatpak). I knew
it were possible, but until today, I never tried to do this so I had to test
first.
- The cron file was from the very early flatpak experiments before Flathub came
into the picture, as well as the GNOME Nightly repository. Back then, we
wanted to set up our own nightlies or release repository through a cron.
- It is still interesting to keep some instructions for local builds of the
flatpak as some people want to use this for development (but all the part
about exporting to a repository, signing, etc. is now unneeded for such use
case). So I'm updating the howto to more current recommendations.
- `flatpak-howto.txt` renamed to `README.md`.
Only the libwmf patches are still different. Apparently we may have fixed the
same bugs in different way on both branches. We should look later in details to
see if some patches are better than the other.
It's probably unneeded as the 2.99 installers are transient and anything
installed by GIMP 2.99 won't be in stable 3.0 anymore. Still, it's nice not to
have any weird warnings even in dev releases.
Now that we bumped our meson requirement, meson is complaining about
several features now deprecated even in the minimum required meson
version:

… Windows installer localization.
There are kind of 2 separate bugs here:
- Direct i18n.gettext() to the proper data directory where to find the
ITS file. Otherwise `meson compile gimp30-windows-installer-pot` and
`meson compile gimp30-windows-installer-update-po` complained about
not knowing XML and falling back to C, which is obviously a problem:
> /usr/bin/xgettext: warning: file 'build/windows/installer/lang/setup.isl.xml.in' extension 'xml' is unknown; will try C
- Set gt:escapeRule to "no" in the ITS file, otherwise the XML entity is
kept as-is in the po file (i.e. "&" stays "&" inside the po
files), but it's considered as raw text when merged back to XML, i.e.
that the '&' is properly converted to a XML entity, so we end up with
a double escape "&".
Now the po file will have a '&' which will still be converted to XML
entity at merge time. This is actually most likely better than asking
translators to handle XML entities themselves (with the possibility to
make typos and break the XML entity).
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58643
The Hungarian language file for the Windows installer was recently moved
from unofficial to the officially supported languages. However, a new
release including Hungarian by default is not available yet. This causes
our CI to fail because it can't find Hungarian in unofficial.
We change our ci script to download Hungarian from the correct location
for official languages, and adapt gimp3264.iss to reflect the correct
location.
The language files provided by the InnoSetup project (either the main
ones or the "Unofficial" ones, i.e. less maintained ones) at least
provides the name of the language, possibly in English, ideally
self-localized in its own language.
Unfortunately Kabyle didn't have any language file so we were using the
Default one, which ended up showing the lang as a duplicate (and very
wrong) "English".
With this commit, I add code to provide our own very basic base language
file, which would at least contain the language name. There is also a
concept of language ID to be verified in Windows-provided list.
Unfortunately it doesn't have any (actually it was id-ed 0x1000 like
many other languages, which looked therefore to be the code for an
unsupported lang). InnoSetup docs tells us to leave 0 then. We can add
the ability to set a specific code later in the template if we add other
un-provided languages and if they have their own lang id.
With this base infrastructure, we should be able to better support more
languages.
Unfortunately the weird encoding of a string to bytes to get the UTF-8
BOM worked on my local machine, but not on the Windows CI. I'm not going
to fight it and fallback to a shell script.
I am guessing it should work fine on all platform since we use basically
the same sed call in build/windows/gitlab-ci/installer-gimp-msys2.sh
already.
Inno-Setup absolutely requires it to recognize UTF-8 translation files.
This should hopefully be the final fix to #8338.
Note that this fix is full of workaround for meson bugs or limitations.
While it was a one-liner in autotools, added to the existing rule, here
I have to add an additional (non-relevant) target rule, then uglily work
around 2 bugs:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1564https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/7696
I can't say I'm so happy about the resulting change, even though it
seems to work. If anyone can propose a nicer build rule, it would be
welcome.
Whenever we have an element without translation, we try to use the value
without a `xml:lang` attribute. That selector was wrong though, which
leads to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/8338, which should
now be fixed.
Why:
1) users can install .scm scripts to plug-ins dir
2) Crashing scripts do not crash extension-script-fu
Scripts (.scm files) have a shebang and are executable
and in a same-named subdir of plugin dir.
Interpreter/scripts create PDB procs of type PLUGIN unlike extension-script-fu
which creates PDB procs of type TEMPORARY, owned by extension-script-fu.
Unlike other interpreters, the interpreter is-a plugin outright,
not by virtue of the script subclassing GimpPlugin and using GI.
More details in /plug-ins/script-fu/interpreter/README
(1) On recent meson versions, it fixes this error:
> extensions/goat-exercises/meson.build:108:0: ERROR: i18n.merge_file keyword argument 'output' was of type array[str] but should have been str
As docs explains, 'output' only accepts one item in i18n.merge_file().
This bug also happens on older meson (but there the reported error is a
lot less useful as it doesn't mention local meson build code).
(2) `setup.isl.xml` is a temporary intermediary file used to create the
Windows installer. It must not be installed.
(3) `gimp30-windows-installer.mo` itself is only used to create
`setup.isl.xml`. It must not be installed as well.
(4) gimp-tips.(its|loc) files (same for gimp-tags ones) should not be
installed. They are only temporary data.
(5) Fix environment variable: s/GETTEXT_DATA_DIRS/GETTEXTDATADIRS/
Fixes:
> /usr/bin/msgfmt: cannot locate ITS rules for ../../../data/tips/gimp-tips.xml.in
(6) Fix various bugs in the *.setup.isl files creation in autotools
build (typo, wrong files used, order of options in `xsltproc`
apparently meaningful, and so on. I guess the autotools build was
not as well tested as the meson one :P).
(7) Fixing the unit test verifying language lists consistency.
(8) `setup.isl.xml.in` must be added to the distribution.
intltool has long been dead upstream. Let's not poke the dead corpse,
please.
This commit is quite large, but that's mostly since trying to support a
hybrid of both gettext and intltool with both Meson and Autotools was
really hard, so I stopped trying.
Due to gettext relying on quite some things being at the exactly right
place in the autotools build (like `ABOUT-NLS` and `config.rpath`) we
really needed to cleanup the `autogen.sh` to only call `aclocal` and
`autoreconf`. No more strange magic; I tried to do it without changing
too much in the file, and things just broke. If people want to do
something more custom, they can just change the script directly. This
change also uncovered some problems in our `configure.ac`, like using
deprecated macros.
The following major changes happened:
* meson: Changed `custom_target()` to `i18n.merge_file()` for all
supported file types
* Added `.its` and `.loc` files for the GIMP-specific XML formats, so
that gettext understands them
* For the `.isl` (Window installer stuff) file, there's no easy way to
do this in gettext, so instead we start from an XML file (again with
its own ITS rules etc), translate that with gettext, and then use
`xsltproc` with a bit of magic to output the .isl file for each
language
* the `po*/Makefile.in.in` files are migrated to `Makevars` files,
which gettext natively understands.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/8028
This will allow to use the official Windows installer directly in the
Windows Store, as per the new proposed workflow by Microsoft.
Nevertheless our GIMP for Windows has a built-in update check which
would check if a new version exist and warn people (advising them to go
on the website and download the new installer to update). We obviously
don't want this on the Windows Store which has its own update channel.
It would be confusing.
Therefore I added a feature to disable the built-in update check (not
even showing in Preferences) by tweaking a single package variable. The
installer now comes with new option /DISABLECHECKUPDATE=true which will
add said variable.
JSON does not support comments and their support in Flatpak is possible
through use of json-glib[0]. This is problematic in fully utilizing
flatpak-external-data-checker because its JSON writer does not respect
existing comments. To solve this, make use of Fltpak's specific
behaviour where a "//" key is explicitely ignored while parsing[1].

OpenEXR and mypaint-brushes offer next major versions. GIMP is probably
not ready for the changes in OpenEXR and mypaint-brushes are not yet
finalized. Put their versions under constraints so that automatic PR
creation for dependency bumps can be enabled.
It looks like the gi-docgen build is broken on Windows (though the CI
does show neither stdout nor stderr output, just a failure without
message). This should be fixed, but it's not necessary for the installer
at least.
Note: on autotools, the gi-docgen step works fine on Windows.
We didn't need to do this on the autotools build, simply because the
configure step is much more elaborated there, and was checking for the
header file as well as well as a working mng_create() API. But since
libmng was broken, the test failed, so we didn't need to disable it.
By the way, we should check when the `.pc` file was added, because if it
was after the required version, then the meson test is very wrong. It
should not have been different from the autotools file.
The meson build still has a bunch of issues and build bugs compared to
the autotools build, nevertheless the last blocker issue was dealt with
a few days ago (PDB source generation).
Moreover since the meson build on Windows especially makes such dramatic
difference, in terms of build speed, this is a big improvement for
Windows contributor's comfort, and as such is one less barrier of entry.
Anyway I believe that most Windows developers build GIMP with meson now
so sticking on autotools on this platform is just counter-productive.
This is why it was decided to now make meson the recommended build
system on Windows, as a further step toward a move to meson. It is still
not the recommended build system on the other platforms yet.
The --debug option so far would only output debug info. I want both the
run to actually occur and the debug to be printed, at least in some
cases. So I make this a choice option with 3 variants (no debug, debug
only and run + debug).
Similar to the change I pushed to gimp-help repository:
intltool-extract does not consider the `;` isl-syntax comments because
we tell it it is in the ini format. So let's have our source in actual
ini format (POTFILES does not like to look for translated strings in
constructed files, only from source files), then create the .isl files
from it in 3 steps (first, transform the comments in isl format; then
merge all language in a single .isl file; last generate one .isl per
language).
There were already a bunch of comments in the setup.isl.in file (though
not showing in the po files until now). I checked if they seemed
relevant, fixed some, completed others, duplicated the ones which match
several strings, etc.
(This improvement to allow comments for translators in the installer po
files was requested by Piotr Drąg on the gnome-i18n mailing list)
Some tools have been moved. `aclocal` (and likely other tools, but this
was the first one making an error in the deps-win*-native CI jobs) is
now in `automake-wrapper` package, which itself is a dependency of
`autotools`.
Cf. https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/11114
Instead of replacing various needed macros with random hardcoded values,
just make them mandatory and exit with explicit error when a needed
macro is missing.
Since 2afa019c70,
the Meson configure step will fail when building from tarball (missing `.git` and `gitversion.h` is present)
because `gitversion_h` variable will contain a `list[file]` but `custom_target` does not like that in its `depends` kwarg.
We were already avoiding re-processing a same DLL within the same run
(this can happen when 2 dependencies have themselves a common
dependency). But the dll_link.py script was stateless regarding previous
runs so we might be checking again the same DLLs multiple times (even
though we were not copying them again).
Let's make the script stateful with a new parameter to give a file where
all the previously processed DLL names are stored. I am hoping it would
improve the efficiency of the packaging-win32-native which is suddenly
extra slow (it always times out, even after raising the max job time;
now we time out after 2h30! The 64-bit packaging job just takes 1h,
which is too much already, but still much more reasonable).
This includes:
- "copy-icon" set
- Permission and cleanup rules updated
- Exiv2 bumped to 0.27.5
- Adding an x-checker-data for OpenEXR
- Poppler bumped to 22.01.00
- OpenBlas bumped to 0.3.19
- graphviz bumped to 2.50.0
Also improving a bit the download script by specifying the .isl or .islu
file extension. It's nicer than trying to download randomly, and also it
allows to better compare the list of downloaded files with the list in
gimp3264.iss script.
My previous command was also adding a linefeed just after the BOM. While
I'm not sure it would really break anything for processing these, it's
anyway much more correct to only add the 3 BOM bytes. So here is the
improved command.
Also some language files are supposed to be UTF-8 yet they are missing
the BOM markup (only method to recognize them for InnoSetup). This is
the case for Chinese Traditional. See issue #7676.
Make sure that this lang file has a BOM.
