Question to users of my PPA for Ubuntu with Digikam packages about upcoming Digikam 5 beta

[Philip Johnsson]

Hi there users!

I have a question about how you guys that use my PPA with Digikam packages for Ubuntu want to deal with the upcoming release of Digikam 5 beta. Do you want me to just override the Digikam 4 (stable release) with beta, RC and final releases rolleing releases of Digikam 5 or do you guys want a separate PPA just for the beta och RC Digikam release and then release Digikam 5 in the "extra" PPA when it's final?

I haven't played around building Digikam 5 that much yet but I don't think I will provide so both Digikam 4 and Digikam 5 will be installed separately on the same system. Not sure how interchangeable the database is back and forth between the releases anyway. I think that will mean that if you choose to try digikam 5 beta it will uninstall the digikam 4 packages.

Any thoughts from you guys how you want it?

Regards,

Philip

digiKam 4 and 5 are fully compatible about the database. Nothing has changed in this section.

I will publish a blog post when tarball will be ready this week end, where a full description of main changes/features/fixes.
