Any interests in Digikam 2.0 packages and digikam PPA?

I'm using DigiKam 2.4 (which I think is from your PPA) in Kubuntu 11.10 with KDE 4.7.90 without problems. So I think 2.5 should work OK - will try an update later.

Mark, let my know if it does work with KDE 4.8 without issues.

When KDE 4.8 is final I think I'll start using it myself and make special builds for it in my kubuntu-backport PPA for Ubuntu 11.10.

digiKam 2.5.0 seems to be running fine in KDE 4.7.97 (4.8 RC2).

As Digikam 2.6.0 beta1 is just out as source code tarball I was
wondering if you guys want betas on my PPA or should I wait for finals
to upload? I will not (I think) maintain stable and betas in some
separate packages solutions. What do you guys think?

Regards,

Philip

Hi all,

I don't yet posted the release announce. But take a care, this
2.6.0-beta1 is not ready to use in production. Only use it for test
purpose. There are few parts probably broken in this release. I will
explain it in announcement.

If I may suggest Philip after Gilles message it will be reasonable to wait for final releases, specially in this case, instead of betas

I also vote on stable releases only! I wouldn't like to see unpleasant surprises during my work, as I use digikam (and darktable) for very important -to me- work.....

Just for the record. I will wait until Digikam 2.6.0 is final before I
upload any updates to my PPA.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Just some information about my PPA and support for Ubuntu 12.04 (precise).

I will start packaging and support 12.04 as soon as I get my gear here
back together. Unfortunately my workstation broke down some 2 weeks
ago and my motherboard is on warranty service but they seem to have
trouble deciding if it will count as a factory fault or not so it
takes longer time to fix than I expected. As soon I get it back and I
can start using it again I'll upgrade to 12.04 myself and also start
supporting 12.04 on my PPA. Will also update exiv2 and libgphoto2 to
latest upstream that's not in 12.04 for more camera support in
Digikam.

Meanwhile I'm stuck on an older retro workstation that takes ages to
compile stuff on so my PPA work have come to an halt. Hope to be more
active again soon.

There you go for who ever was wondering.

Happy digikaming!

You can build Ubuntu packages on the openSUSE buildservice, i.e. no need for a
local installation and powerful hardware. Just register for free and set-up
your project.

I'll update the snapshot package for openSUSE as soon as compiling with
translations works again.

Hi Gilles,

Are you aware of this page http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/digikam.html
It shows that digiKam 2.6.0-beta3 is in Debian unstable but it cannot
progress to testing due to some bugs. I think the MIPS compilation bug
at least needs to be fixed. It would be really nice to get that into
2.6.0 so the next Debian release can get something more recent than 1.9.0.

Andrew,

MIPS fixes have been applied to current implementation from
git/master. Can you check if it compile fine with this implementation
? Else, please report error here...

I am in awe of your development achievements for Digikam.
But i have Ubuntu 10.04 and Digikam 1.2.0 and i cant find a more updated
Digikam package for Lucid Lynx  on your PPA.

I don't think it's possible to build newer versions of Digikam on
stock Ubuntu 10.04 as it comes with an too old version of KDE. Digikam
is much dependent on KDE parts so you need to update your KDE to be
able to build it. As far as I know there is no recent version of KDE
for Ubuntu Lucid maintained on any PPA either.

Dear Digikam developers,

I have just made the inevitable upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04. The
new facilities of Digikam 2.5 are enormous (having used Digikam 1.9
previously).

Just a short message to thank the developers for their time and labour
put into this top-quality software. I find it remarkable that the
Digikam developers go out of their way to make this program adaptable to
as many operating environments as possible and making possible the
interaction with non-KDE software such as Darktable. This
inter-operability is clearly the way to the future, especially in the
open source world.

I am hoping that, some time, Dk and Dt will understand more of each
others' utilisation of .XMP files.....

Thank you again for an industrial-grade open source product. Phillip,
your contribution is also significant.

Kind regards,
Willem Ferguson

I was waiting for mint13kde(LTS), but as it is not available yet, installed kubuntu 12.04 LTS before one week. By default there is dk 2.5.0 but i am thinking of upgrading to 2.7.0 by adding Philip's PPI.
The trouble with kubuntu is- by default hibernation is disabled. If 'sudo pm-hibernate' (in konsole) hibernates the system, enable it by referring the forum post
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html
Then I added plasma widgets
plasma-widget-quickaccess
plasma-widget-lancelot
Now i am very satisfied with it and may not install mint13kde.
