Artful Aardvark
Locked
 
|
Hi all,
Message for Philip Jonsson I suppose :) Do you plan to support Artful Aardvark with Digikam? I only ask because, once again I have upgraded and lost Digkam :( Not an urgent thing though because I always have a backup image and I have reverted to Zesty for now :)
If you do have a plan to support Artful, how will I keep an eye on progress? Would I just visit the ppa pages and look out for a new package?
Thanks for your continued support.
James Pirie

Hello James,
if digikam is not in the default software repository of Artful Aardvark, maybe digikams AppImage packages are a solute to use digikam in your Linux distribution. AppImage Download: https://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/ Article about AppImage in DigiKam: https://www.digikam.org/news/2016-11-07_digiKam_5.3.0_is_published/ AppImage in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage I haven't tried this myself, but there has been a lot of talking about DigiKam AppImage on this mailinglist.

Hello James, I am using 5.7 appimage on Artful, and it works fine. I will try the 5.8 now that I know where it is. regards Derek On Wed, Oct 25, 2017 at 7:23 PM, Peter Albrecht <[hidden email]> wrote: Hello James, Dr Derek W.

Hi Gilles, Derek and Peter, Thanks for your responses. I had not appreciated what a good idea appimages were/are :) For that reason I have avoided them. However, having now informed myself it looks like this is the way forward and will re-install Artful at the next opportunity and set about downloading my first *.appimage file :) I wonder though how this system of packaging will affect the future of Linux Distros in general? Will they become less or more flexible for all? At the moment I get updates automatically for all chosen applications. IN the future it may be more difficult to locate the package I need and, also to keep up with updates but...on reflection, no more so than with the dreaded Windows 10 system I suppose ;) Every day is a School day!
Many thanks again.

My viewpoint, as developer, this permit to deploy quickly the application, as we can consideration suitable as well, with all components compiled with all optimizations to prevent all know problem. This permit to provide a beta version in few hours for testing and to check if problem reported as really fixed. This permit also to verify if a problem is relevant of application implementation, or relevant of packaging. We receive a lots of report due to packaging dysfunction. Packaging is complex and require a lots of tests. I cannot imagine how distro packager can release files quickly for a distro without any problem... Apple and Windows already provide bundle support since a while. After all it work and it simple to use a test an application. The advantage of AppImage is to run application without to install a file on computer. All still in user space. Gilles Caulier 2017-10-26 13:22 GMT+02:00 James Pirie <[hidden email]>:

It works for me. Examples here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/digikam-git/ Main efl/enlightemnent developer ('Rasterman') maintain these packages https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/efl-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enlightenment-git/ -- Maderios |
