Bug#585081: New Upstream Release - digikam 1.3.0

[Michael Holtermann-3]

Hi Mark,

is there any new information available on this topic? I've read the discussion
at digikam-devel (http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-devel/2010-
June/043704.html), but that one came to no end, I think.

I don't know the structure of libs in Debian very well, but isn't it possible
to build and deliver different applications with different library versions?
As far as I see, libkexiv is used by Strigi, too. Maybe Gilles could tag the
current trunk of libkexiv as a minor release.

Current digikam (1.2.0) depends on exiv2 0.19, which contains a bug with Nikon
DSLR-JPGs. This bug was filled on 2010-01-27 and closed with 0.20
(http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/show/677). It would be really nice to have a
workable digikam back again... ;-)

Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Michael

Michael,

The two are not necessarily related; digikam new version and exiv2 fix.

I have requested approval to upload exiv2 0.20 to unstable, which would fix
the Nikon regression:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2010/06/msg00070.html

While I am waiting, I may just backport the Nikon fix to exiv 0.19 and upload to unstable.

Either exiv2 uploads will work with digikam 1.2 or 1.3.

The upload of digikam 1.3 is a little more problematic, it appears that digikam 1.3 will need to await the release of KDE SC 4.5, which I doubt will make it for squeeze.

Mark
