[Digikam-users] Ubuntu 15.10 wily

[Philip Johnsson]

Hi

I'm working on packages of digital 5.0 beta1 right now and after that I
will look into digikam 4.14 packages for Willy. The reason why geolocation
isn't found in Willy version of digikam 4 is changes in how Marble packages
are built there and doesn't work with digikam 4.x. I might port marble
rebuilds just for digikam to use in my PPA for that reason.

Digikam needs to be rebuilt with that marble changes if you want to make
your own build with geolocation.

I haven't upgraded to (K)Ubuntu 15.10 myself yet and therefor I haven't
given support for it any priority.
