<p dir="ltr">Hi</p>
<p dir="ltr">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. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Digikam needs to be rebuilt with that marble changes if you want to make your own build with geolocation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I haven't upgraded to (K)Ubuntu 15.10 myself yet and therefor I haven't given support for it any priority. </p>

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