Description Andreas K. Huettel 2011-02-02 16:00:05 UTC

Dear digikam developers, 

you probably all know about the "bundling/unbundling debate" by now. To keep things constructive, I'd like to ask you for a few clarifications (so I know when to file a bug and when not, and how to package) about the different parts of the digikam-2 SC:

* libkface, libkmap: Are these libraries "future parts of kdegraphics", i.e. will they be part of kdegraphics-4.7?

* libkipi, libkexiv2, libkdcraw: Are these library versions "prereleases" of kdegraphics-4.7, and can we safely assume that the API remains stable?

* kipi-plugins: Is this release _supposed to build_ with kde-4.6.0 versions of libkipi, libkexiv2, libkdcraw?

* core/digikam: Is this release _supposed to build_ with kde-4.6.0 versions of libkipi, libkexiv2, libkdcraw?

Especially the last two parts are pretty high on my personal wish list; while adding new libraries to an existing installation is easily done, replacing existing kde components is frowned upon heavily by our QA...

TIA, Andreas

Comment 1 Andreas K. Huettel 2011-02-03 20:06:40 UTC

For additional information:
* digikam core and kipi-plugins 2.0.0-beta2 compile and run fine with libkipi and libkexiv2 from kde-4.6.0
* kipi-plugins compiles fine with libkdcraw from kde-4.6.0
* digikam core build fails with libkdcraw from kde-4.6.0, see bug 265328

If this one problem can be fixed, we from Gentoo should be happy. (libkface and libkmap will just be declared as new external libraries then.)

Comment 2 Andreas K. Huettel 2011-05-20 19:36:37 UTC

Ping... KDE 4.7beta1 is approaching. 

* Are there differences (other than minor bugfixes etc) between the libraries in digikam 2.0.0beta5 and KDE 4.7beta1? Will Digikam core (be intended to) build against KDE 4.7?

* Are any of the new libraries moving into KDE? (i.e. libkmap, libkface, libmediawiki)

Andreas,

as KDE 4.7 is out since few month, i think you find a response of your questions. Right ?

Comment 4 Andreas K. Huettel 2011-12-13 00:24:39 UTC

Sure... sorry I completely forgot about this bug. It all builds fine with any kde-4.7. 

Please tell us when you intend to switch to 4.8 though... :)
