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

Wed Mar 30 10:26:28 BST 2011

I'm not sure I that was clear.

I'm aware of that my choice to use code from git (the place where developers
submit and exchange code while developing) for my "beta3" packages have made
things a bit confusing when it comes to what is what. As the developers had
changed in the code to beta4 (only in the about dialogue window in digikam)
in git a few days after the beta3 code was released as a official tarball
release then the code in my packages got the beta4 name but was beta4 code
in early development. The packages worked as they should but I think it
might have made bug tracking more difficult and confusing for both users and
developers. I won't release any more packages using code from git to stay
away from this kind of confusion and only package official tarball releases,
even though my debian changelog and the package naming pointed out that the
code came from git and when.

And to complicate the issue a bit more there was a rebuild of my packages of
beta3 git code against updated KDE 4.6.1 so it was linked against the new
libmarble .11 and not the older libmarble .10 that KDE 4.6.0 used.

Hope this clear things out when it comes to naming.
