Dear maintainer,<br>
<br>
I'm a desktop user, like the work of kde-freebsd team to have a
current plasma5 desktop and other applications like digikam.<br>
<br>
I use pkg and latest stuff, sometimes head branch and ports and
apart from some instabilities, which were fixed in the past in a
short time, I'm satisfied with combination of FreeBSD and plasma5
and further desktop stuff.<br>
<br>
After switching from digikam 6.0.0 to a newer version some weeks ago
in "latest" this software is broken, it starts reproducible with a
segfault. This bug is reported since <span>2019-09-10.<br>
<a href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240466" target="_blank">https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240466</a><br>
<br>
Okay, in quarterly branch 2019Q3 there was digikam in version
6.0.0 and this version works. So some days ago I've switched from
head to quarterly, to reduce such issues.<br>
<br>
But yesterday you switched to new quarterly branch 2019Q4 and with
a pkg upgrade I get new binaries, also digikam, and now in version
6.3.0. And it starts with a segfault.<br>
<br>
My question: Why putting broken stuff from head in a new quarterly
branch? I thought, that quarterly protects user from such issues
and only working stuff from head was putting into a new quarterly
branch (like manjaro: stuff from testing repo was putting to
stable repo, when it is stable). But it seems, that a new quartely
branch only get a snapshot of binaries from head without any
inspection, if this stuff works or not.<br>
<br>
What can I do to get a working version of digikam in combination
with FreeBSD?<br>
<br>
And how can I avoid such issues in the future? Still using
quarterly seems not to be enough. Please keep in mind, that I'm a
user and not a developer.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
Holger</span><span><br>
