[Digikam-users] Digikam packaged for MacOS (dmg or alike)

[Agustin Lobo]

Using the Macports is what I did and took for hours. Not looking
forward to do it again in the future...
I think that, under these circumstances, stating that Digikam is
available for MacOS is
a bit misleading. For 99% of Mac users, Digikam is not really
available. The answer to
"Is Digikam available for Mac OSX?" should be "Not without hours of
work on the installation"
I regret it, many people would use Digikam on Mac if a dmg or pkg
based installation was available.
