+gimp would be useless for me without being able to use my wacom Intuos
+device...
+
+There's a need to modify the update policy so that Gimp 3.0 may be
+proposed as update for Mageia2 as soon as possible !!!
+
+Or the the need to downgrade to gimp 2.6 for Mageia 2 !

+(I don't think it's possible to provide gimp 2.6 and gimp 2.8 side by side)
