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.
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.

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.
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
gtk-doc has been slowly dying for the past few years; with gi-docgen we
have a nice successor.
This also makes sure the C documentation also uses the GIR file, which
in turn means faster build times (since all the C code doesn't have to
be parsed and recompiled again), and has a clear dependency graph.
See the [gi-docgen tutorial] for more info on how the system works.

From Flatpak's NEWS:
> A new fallback-x11 permission grants X11 access, but only if the user
> is running in a X11 session. For applications that support both
> Wayland and X11, this can be used to ensure that the app doesn't have
> unnecessary X11 access while in Wayland, but still works in an X11
> session.
This is based from changes in wip/release/2-99-8 branch or the Flathub
flatpak (so not necessarily released yet):
- libheif bumped to 1.12.0
- Cairo with new patch to fix#235.
libwmf was still relying on a script called freetype-config instead of
using standard pkg-config. It seems it got wiped out in recent freetype2
(or at the very least, this script is not present anymore in freetype2
version 24.0.18 from master runtime of GNOME SDK).
This patch uses pkg-config in libwmf configuration instead.
As I also had some autoheader "missing template" warnings (which were
failing the recreation of config scripts), I add placeholder
descriptions to AC_DEFINE() macros, as this is apparently now mandatory.
Synced from the beta flatpak. The previous manifest rules were building
fine on Flathub build servers, but not on GNOME CI ones. It resulted in
a bunch of "ISO C++17" errors when building ilmbase.
Maybe just restricting to C++14 through build fine would have been fine,
but anyway let's also update the dependencies in the same time as we
were outdated.
As per state in the wip/release/2-99-8 branch of the beta flatpak.
In particular, we update some dependencies (poppler, ghostscript and
SuiteSparse).
It should also fix the master flatpak build which seemed to fail on
downloading SuiteSparse sources. Since their upstream moved their
tarballs to be downloaded from Github, it should take care of this issue
by side effect.
- dri access needed (cf. commit de8be943 on our Flathub repo).
- GNOME runtime still only provides lcms 2.10 (even in its master build)
and we need version 2.12 to avoid some crashes (cf. commit ae60863e
from our flathub repo).
Trying to keep the differences to a minimum. There are still some, like
the extension point is absent from the nightly manifest, but I'm not
sure if it makes sense to have it there.
Also top "cleanup" list is different but we should probably take a
closer look at this. Maybe it's outdated on both sides anyway.
This reverts commit 61389adfa0.
I was initially hoping to debug why the GEGL `master` HEAD was
presumably failing to build (according to the reverted commit) but it
actually doesn't (as tested in a feature branch's CI) even though I
don't see any recent change looking like a build fix. So let's just do a
simple reverse. :-)
