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.

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.

Thanks. A week or two... Less time as expected.
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 changes to the software, the launcher will require little to no modifications. The quality assurance is what extend the length of the update process.
PieterK, m-p-3... I will wait. Stop replying! Thanks.
You needn't wait.
Gimp Portable 2.4.7 is released already.
