exiv2 is in pre-release, with some useful new features, and significant ABI/API changes. An ebuild in ~ is useful for testing / development purposes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 174490 [details] media-gfx/exiv2-0.18_pre2 ebuild Slightly convoluted ebuild for the pre-release tarball. Note that installing this is breaks libkexiv2 substantially because it hides a lot of API that is used by the current (0.1.7) release of libkexiv2. Necessary changes to libkexiv2 are in upstream, but not yet released.
libkexiv2 and exiv2 0.18 released: http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/415
previously attached ebuild works correctly when re-named to exiv2-0.18.ebuild as well (no suffixes to version string), but probably 0.17.1 could be re-named as well. Built exiv2 program works as advertised, and libkexiv2-0.18 builds against the resulting libraries.
new version in CVS.
