port gimp2 fails at configure GIMP app on Catalina for GIMP 2.10.22, upstream patch exists for gimp/configure.ac

Description (last modified by bootchk (Lloyd Konneker))
Using port gimp2 on Catalina, recent MacPorts install.
Symptom: during build of GIMP, while configuring, the configure script generated by autoconf throws "invalid syntax at 'fi)'. "
The GIMP configure.ac is not compatible with autoconf > 2.69. Apparently, this port uses autoconf 2.70 or greater.
Upstream has patched already in the unstable 2.10 (2.10.23) so the port gimp2-devel, which builds that version, does build.
It is possible that issues with autoconf will surface again, since others have said the GIMP configure.ac lacks many quotes ( I think they mean brackets) that give problems with newer autoconf.
If you must use this port, see gimp MR !357 which is the patch that upstream has applied to versions after 2.10.22.
Very soon (?) gimp 2.10.24 will be released, so this specific issue will go away if the port is updated to that version.

Fixed with the update to GIMP 2.10.28
Sorry, I see that a commit two days ago fixed this? I don't understand why my build yesterday failed, nor why my search of tickets failed to find previous ticket.
