libkdcraw release cycle

Hi,
Did I understand well that raw support in Digikam depends in libkdcraw of kde, which includes libraw, which includes dcraw ? This means that if a new camera is supported by dcraw then one need to wait for a new release of libraw, a new release of libkdcraw, a new release of kde, and finally a new relase of his favorite distribution ?

Note I was not complaining, I wanted to know if I understood well. I think it is counter intuitive that free software can often be updated more easily on windows than on linux (as firefox for example).

Forget dcraw here. libraw include algorithm from dcraw. but's it's not dcraw. Also, since RawTherapee is in GPL now, new algorithm will be used from another place. with 0.9.0 release of libraw, foveon sensor has been removed due licensing problem. We need to find new implementation RawTherapee is a good candidate. > > This means that if a new camera is supported by dcraw then one need to > wait for a new release of libraw, a new release of libkdcraw, a new > release of kde, and finally a new relase of his favorite distribution ? Yes. in theory. Why ? beacuse libraw is included to libkdcraw as well. With Alex Tutubalin (libraw coordinator), we have decided to use this way until libraw 1.0.0. after that, i will add a way to use an external version of libraw instead internal one. But there is another problem here : libkdcraw include also widgets. And some of this depand of options avaialble in libraw. This is a big puzzle to solve, checking version and branching implementation accordingly : more complex code, more bugs, more tests to do. Including libraw prevent this problem. So, due the experimental stage of libraw for the moment, and until the implementation and the API will be stabilized, i think that including libraw as well is better. But libkdcraw do not depand of KDE4 core composant. You can compile it under and old release of KDE4, without any problem. so, to checkout source code from trunk and compile and install it instead the distro version is the best way. In KDE4, krita, and a dolphin thumbs plugin generator use it. Only these both composant will be broken with biniray compatibility.
