Thank you guys for the feedback!<br><br>I will keep the PPAs as they are for now. If I would make PPAs with only Digikam stuff then I have to make two different PPAs anyway. One for standard Ubuntu repositories and one with kubunt backports. Digikam 2.0 need dependencies from KDE 4.6.x to build so I would have to have its own PPA anyway.<br>
<br>I'll upload digikam 2.0 beta3 as soon I have done some clean ups with the packaging code. Right now I have made all stuff from digikam-software-compilation for myself and bundled them into two packages. I will split them up to make the parts easier to maintain over time with separate packages the Ubuntu/Debian way and a much nicer way to handle it all. I hope to be able to upload it into my kubuntu-backports PPA in the next few days.<br>
<br>Hope you guys are patient.<br><br>/Philip<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 6, 2011 at 9:12 PM, Pentti Rautio <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pentti.j.rautio@googlemail.com">pentti.j.rautio@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I am more a photographer than a linux-expert and I have used your<br>
"extra" happily . When I bought new equipment tree weeks ago had to<br>
use also "backports" yesterday. Worked fine too. Thanks!<br>
<br>
It would be good to have the possibility to easily choose what one<br>
wants and sometimes the only solution is a beta-version but usually<br>
the stable version is what people like me need because we use this "in<br>
production".<br>
<br>
So I think that the need is for both an up-to date stable version and<br>
also for a beta version for this distribution (10.10). Of course this<br>
is more complicated for you. But it is great that you do this when<br>
canonical don't!<br>

</div>The extras don't bother me although I possibly don't need them (or<br>
don't know the benefits)<br>
<br>
Thanks for your great work!<br>
