Hi David,

What do you mean exactly?

Everytime when digikam releases an updated version, in less then no time
Philip Johnsson has it is his PPA.
The newly released doc descibes it and guides you to there.

No one has to strewn with 'makes' and 'configures', but for some reason it is exitement for some people, as others prefer to bungy jump.

Regards,
Rinus

Hi David,

What do you mean exactly?

Everytime when digikam releases an updated version, in less then no time Philip Johnsson has it is his PPA.

And it's available in the Fedora kde-unstable repository too ... but I'm one of the few victims of the libdc1394 problem, that's why Gilles suggested I tried the last gist version.

In fact, the main reason I switched from Ubuntu to Fedora was that Digikam's new versions are available very soon after they're released ... even if they are available in a so-called "unstable" official repository.

Unfortunately there are no builds for 11.10 yet and it doesn't look likely at the moment that the official repos will have anything newer than 1.9.

Now that I have successfully built digiKam, would someone like to give me some help in uploading it to my own PPA space?

I would appeciate that. Making digikam available for as many people as possible in the most easy way possible. But I think it is a realy complex matter, far more complex than uploading a deb file of your own build I suppose. I am very eager to learn more on the subject, not to start my own ppa but just curious!
Hope you will have lot of usefull respons.

Regards,
Rinus

checkinstall should allow you to build rpm/debs... from your
compilation folder

11.10 is still in testing phase, so don't expect to have software update  
instantly here.

It happens that very old version was still present in aplha.3 or beta.1,  
and they are only updated few weeks before the final release (for example  
I already notice this for fglrx package).

If you use a testing distrib, you have to assume it's not finalized... ;>)

Then you have to blame/complain to your distro since distros package digikam.
As you can read in this thread there are packages for openSUSE, fedora, *buntu
and probably others, so most linux users do have access to those packages.

I've used checkinstall, but I want to build it so that it can be uploaded to my PPA.

It's not trivial to make packages so you can upload them to Launchpad.
You need to make all the Debian package and build scripts. About all
you need to know are to be find on this Ubuntu page but there are
guides that can get you started somewhere but usually you step in to
deeper water so to speak rather soon and get more or less
complicated...
