Initial Branches
Foundation branches that prepare GIMP source and provide essential utilities for other branches.
Branch Overview
gimp-source
Purpose: Clone of GIMP master with CI configuration adapted for Artbox development.
Role: Starting point for all Artbox development, providing a clean GIMP base with Artbox-specific modifications.
Files Modified:
.gitlab-ci.yml→.gitlab-ci-master.yml(CI configuration backup).gitmodules(submodule reference updates)gimp-data(submodule pointer updates)
Implementation: Clones GIMP master and makes infrastructure changes. The GitLab CI configuration is backed up and modified for Artbox’s build pipeline, git submodule references are updated to point to Artbox-compatible versions, and the gimp-data submodule is adjusted.
convert-tool-preset
Purpose: Utility branch providing data structures for tool presets that other convert branches depend on.
Role: Foundation branch that must be processed first in any construction sequence, providing core tool preset functionality.
Files Modified:
app/core/gimptoolpreset.c(280 lines added/modified - core tool preset implementation)app/core/gimptoolpreset.h(15 lines modified - tool preset interface)app/widgets/gimpdeviceinfo.c(8 lines modified - device integration)app/widgets/gimptoolpreseteditor.c(44 lines modified - preset editor improvements)
Implementation: Expands tool preset functionality with 275 net lines of new code. The core changes in gimptoolpreset.c provide data structures and handling for tool presets, while header modifications in gimptoolpreset.h expose new interfaces. Device integration improvements in gimpdeviceinfo.c ensure interaction with input devices, and the preset editor receives enhanced functionality. These modifications form the foundation that other convert branches rely on for tool management.
