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

[Dmitri Popov]

Hi Philip,

I've been using your PPA for quite some time, and I really, really appreciate 
your work.

I just started to build packages of Digikam 2.0 beta3 for myself and wondered 
about what the interest in them are for you guys? They are made as digikam2 
packages so they won't automatically update if you prefer to use the stable 
Digikam 1.9 but will conflict if you try to install them both at the same time. 
I might upload them to my kubuntu-backports PPA as you will need stuff from KDE 
4.6 to build.

That would be fantastic!

Second question is if you guys would prefer a separate digikam PPA with just 
digikam stuff instead of as it is now to use my "extra" and for exiv2 0.21.x 
support my kubuntu-backports PPA? For me it's easier to do as I'm doing now and 
upload my stuff to the "extra" PPA but I don't know how many of you don't want 
to use it because it includes a bunch of assorted updates that you want to 
leave 
as they are.

I think you should go with the solution that makes it easier for you. :-)

Best,
Dmitri

Hi all

I think it's know to this list that I have Digikam 1.9 packages on my PPA for 
Ubuntu 10.10 but I have no idea on how may people use it or what the interest 
is, beside some people now and then get in touch with me about this and that 
with packages.

Feedback on this from anyone who cares are appreciated.

Happy digikaming!
