[Digikam-users] Re: Any interests in Digikam 2.0 packages and digikam PPA?

[Julien Narboux]

Hi Philip,

Thanks a lot for these ppa. I think they are very useful. Maybe you 
could get an account on DigiKam website to post a small blog entry when 
you update your ppas. For the beta a nightly build would be useful as well.

Thanks for your work.

Julien
