Hi Tobias, dear committer of kde-freebsd,<br>
<br>
thanks for your efforts. My mail should not to be a rant, more a
question, how to avoid such trouble in thew future and how to get
help.<br>
<br>
I'm patient, maybe the segfault of digikam has to do with further
broken stuff and fixing that needs time, and I know, you spend your
leisure time.<br>
<br>
Today I'll set up a further FreeBSD installation with latest repo
and head branch. And if I can help you fixing such stuff, please let
me know which info you need.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Holger<br>

<div>Hi Holger</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry for the breakage. Due to a lack of free time, I could
not yet investigate the breakage.I will, as soon as I can :) <br>

<div>The quarterly branch gives you no guarantees at all -- it
is cut at a given time, and if you are lucky the tree was in a
good state at the time. Afterwards it just mostly gets older
:D -- so there is no process of choosing "stable" staff for
the quarterly (so it's purely timing based -- quarterly,
literally).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think this time it was just bad luck, I assume, I did
some testing and found it working, but apparently it wasn't,
or I didn't :) -- totally my bad here. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope to have time to fix it by this or the next weekend
-- no promises, patches are welcome :D.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you really require it to be working right now, you can
just grab the port from the revision prior to its upgrade and
built the old one -- that should work.<br>

<div> 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>

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>
