How long does it take to update a portable app if the application it's based on is updated?

I wrote that I wanted to try Gimp portable.

Gimp 2.4.7 is released. Now I would like to know how long it takes to make the new version portable. Gimp is just the reason why I asked. You don't need to hurry and this is no complaint. I wait if it doesn't take long. Otherwise I try 2.4.6 portable.

As the question
"How long does it take to update a portable app if the application it's based on is updated?" should make clear I would like a general answer. Average or maximum... what ever you can tell me. Thanks

Keep up this amazing work.

Basically when it's done

John knows it's updating it just takes him a little bit to get the update done. Currently it's a little slow since he has to update most of the apps himself but that will be changing soon. I would expect a update to any app within a week or two.

Less as expected

Thanks. A week or two... Less time as expected.

A few days to 2 weeks

It depends on the application we're talking about. If it's Firefox Portable then John will probably update it asap which could be after 1 day if the new release doesn't differ to much from the previous release. If a lot has changed since the previous release then it takes some more time to test it. In the case of GIMP i suppose it will probably take less then 2 weeks. I hope this answer helped a bit.

Unless there is some radical

Unless there is some radical changes to the software, the launcher will require little to no modifications. The quality assurance is what extend the length of the update process.
