Hi - My name is Chris Mohler. I'm not a hard-core programmer, but have some experience with C and Python. I've recently set about to assembling a prepress environment with OSS tools. Of course GIMP is a cornerstone of the project, so I'd like to become more involved with GIMP development.

What release should I be checking out of CVS? Or stated another way - on various bug entries, I see "please create a patch against current CVS". Is current CVS gimp-2-2?

Just check out the HEAD branch. That is, do not specify any particular branch. That will get you the development branch which is where gimp 2.3 releases are made from occasionally. We also maintain a stable branch, labelled gimp-2-2. That's where stable gimp 2.2 releases are being made from. If you want to get a patch into GIMP, it will almost always first have to go into the HEAD branch.

If no specific branch is mentioned, "current CVS" usually means the HEAD branch. This is what you get if you just do a cvs checkout without specifying a revision or branch (i.e., no option like "-r gimp-N-N").
