Re: Database backward compatibility? 6.4.0-9

Johannes Graumann-2
I'm moving my setup to QubesOS and they do not offer a template OS
image that offers a newer version of digikam. I could overcome this by
using a flatpak, but digikam does not seem to distribute that way ...

But the bottom line is: it should be possible.

Sincerely, Joh

I found the appimage, which might be an alternative (earlier search for flatpak did not produce a result) - is there a source for an app image? I have the impression that what's found at https://files.kde.org/digikam/ is to cutting edge for me ...

Not a good idea. The core database schema has not changed between
6.0.0 and

6.4.0. But there are a lot of bugs fixed between these versions.

Of course, there are source code, you are in open source world.

We support AppImage, not FlatPak. n fact, the KDE build server must
produce a flatpak version of digiKam, but it do not work (compilation
is broken due to weird dependencies rules in the server).

We compile (in fact i compile on my computers) the AppImage bundles.
All is done from the scratch and take around 6-7 hours.

Scripts source code (bash, python, cmake) is here :

https://invent.kde.org/kde/digikam/-/tree/master/project%2Fbundles%2Fappimage

https://files.kde.org/digikam/ is to deploy a beta version of bundles
including AppImage with and without debug symbols. It's for testing
only, not for production uses.

But you are not curious ? take a look in README file for details...

Note : 7.0.0 pre version which can be found in this shared directory
include more than 650 bug fix compared to last stable 6.4.0 :

https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_versionfixedin&limit=0&list_id=1737310&o1=equals&order=bug_id&product=digikam&v1=7.0.0
