Tar file containing media-gfx/exif

I'm not very sure about the placement under media-gfx, please check.

updated ebuild for exif requires new libexif

exif meanwhile is version 0.6.9, and as it is similar to media-gfx/exiftags it
should belong to media-gfx too.

for version 0.6.9 to compile media-libs/libexif version >=0.6.9 is required.
see next attachment.

Therefore media-libs/libmnote can be deleted as it is not any longer required
nor existant. Don't forget to revdep-rebuild your applications.

updated libexif, don't forget to revdep-rebuild

(forgot to obsolete 0.6.0 ebuild, could someone please...)

Nautilus 2.6.3 libexif-0.6 patch

When upgrading to libexif-0.6, it is required to patch nautilus-2.6.3.

so how does this patch work with the 0.5 version, does it still build when
applied ? We need a failsafe solution here.

easy solution for that: dont apply unless new libexif installed

has_version '>=media-libs/libexif-0.6' && epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-libexif-0.6.patch

the eog-2.8 sources have those lines in a #ifdef OLD_LIBEXIF or
something to that effect. and since that is all compile-time too,
its essentially the same solution.

yeah i suppose. I prefer the second solution, because its not a gentoo level
hack. Was waiting for someone to do the works.

* BUMP *

Is somebody still looking into this?
I really do need this as jhead (even the latest 2.2 as in portage now) is too limited for my needs.

I installed libexif-0.6.10-r1 (which is ~x86) and build exif-0.6.9 manually agains it, so my immediate needs are met. It would be great however this tool would make it into portage (~x86 is fine for me).

I'll try the ebuild in my portage overlay to see if it works for me that way as well.

Tried the ebuild as attached in this bug report via my portage overlay.

Changed the keywords in the ebuild to ~x86 and friends, added it to /etc/portage/package.keywords so I stay in sync with libexif.

revdep-rebuild gave no problems for me, running gnome 2.8 (thus nautilus gnome 2.8)

added in cvs, thank you
