[Digikam-users] Thanks to Philip

[Philip Johnsson]

As I mainly build packages I use myself I will be quicker about
updating for 11.10 that I use myself for now. Maybe I'm lucky to use
KDE with (K)Ubuntu as there seem an unhappy camp about what's going on
with Unity and Gnome in Ubuntu.

When it comes to Natty I will more or less update on request. So if
you feel that I'm lagging behind on or miss something for Natty then
just send me a request and I'll try to fix that if and when I have
time.

/Philip
