Ubuntu 15.10 wily
Locked

Hi,
as others reported, Digikam 4.12 packaged in Ubuntu 15.10 has no geolocation features. I have a few questions about that: 1. Will there be a philip5/extra ppa for 15.10 (wily) anytime soon? This is where I got Digikam from so far and I liked it. 2. Do you expect any problems when downgrading? I used 4.14 before (from the ppa) and now I get 4.12 from the wily repositories. Could this break anything about the metadata, database, and so on? Can I use 4.12 for the time being and switch back to 4.14 whenever it is easily available in future? 3. Is there any chance that Ubuntu will still update their packages to get geolocation working again? (From your experience with Ubuntu – I know that you are not the packager.) 4. Is the only viable way to get 4.14 and/or geolocation currently to compile it on my own? Thanks in advance for any clarification!

Hi I'm working on packages of digital 5.0 beta1 right now and after that I will look into digikam 4.14 packages for Willy. The reason why geolocation isn't found in Willy version of digikam 4 is changes in how Marble packages are built there and doesn't work with digikam 4.x. I might port marble rebuilds just for digikam to use in my PPA for that reason. Digikam needs to be rebuilt with that marble changes if you want to make your own build with geolocation. I haven't upgraded to (K)Ubuntu 15.10 myself yet and therefor I haven't given support for it any priority. /Philip On Oct 24, 2015 12:34, "Noeck" <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi Philip,
thanks for the information. If I understand you correctly this means there is no timeline for it but you plan to offer a recent digikam version in your ppa. That sounds good. Am I right that the version 5.0beta1 even if you package it is not recommended for productive use? Thanks a lot for your PPA, I am a satisfied user so far and it is just more fun using a recent version of this great software!

Yes sooner or later there will be digikam for ubuntu 15.10 too on my PPA. I would guess in a week or so. Depends on how busy my week will be with other things. Digikam 5 will be beta so I think it's fair to say that it's not for production use. I haven't tested it much yet and don't know how stable it really is. I'm planning to make packages so you can have both digikam 5 and digikam 4 installed on the same system and can choose what you want to use. You should be able to use them back and forth sharing the same database.On Sat, Oct 24, 2015 at 8:53 PM, Noeck <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi Philip, _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Thanks, that answered my questions. I'm looking forward to the new PPA.
