A new version in debian testing packages ?

yves thomazeau
I have the 1.0.9.0-rc1-1 installed and i see in synaptic that there is the
2:0.8.2-3 to be the new one ?
As my actual version is almost perfect and has all the newest features
decribed in the wiki , i wonder which one is the oldest ?
Of course the fist number 2 would suggest it is the last developpement but
then the next numbers are 0.9 against 0.8 versions that would suggest the
opposite ....
Can you make that clear to me and the debian users ?
A very good year to all the team .

Hi:

I've noticed that only after I made the (down)grade. I don't know
exactly why they downgraded the package, but I think it had something to
do with libexiv2 (maybe someone can explain this properly ;-)
Now I've lost all the new features and I cannot revert to my previous
situation, so my sugestion is DON't "upgrade".

By the way, is there any change to get the Debian package for 0.9 back?

Thanks in advance

Pedro

As you can guess, digikam 0.9.0 is more recent than 0.8.2 :)

You should use 0.9.0 which is far more recent and contains new features
and bug fixes.

In 2:0.8.2 the number before the : is called the epoch.
It's used to get a normal upgrade when the upstream
is really smaller.  So 1:0.9.0 is smaller than 2:0.8.2.

You are right. Since digikam 0.9-rc2, exiv2 0.12 is required.
That was not soon enought in debian and could later not be uploaded
to sid due to debian freeze for etch.

Debian release managers decided that it's not save enough.
So we had to revert to 0.8.2, because 0.9-rc1 was not stable enough
to release for etch :(

For the time of the etch freeze digikam 0.9 gets uploaded to the
experimental distro not sid.

You can add experimental to your /etc/apt/sources.list and install
digikam 0.9 with

    apt-get -t experimental install digikam showfoto digikamimageplugins kipi-plugins

(since the latest upload, showfoto is now in it's own pkg).

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
