RawTherapee 4.0.7 has been tagged today, please update. Reproducible: Always
DESCRIPTION="Digital photo editing tool focused on RAW image file manipulation and conversion" Please do not capitalize "raw", it's not an acronym. Secondly, looking at the ebuild, it looks like it skips the AboutThisBuild file. This file is very important and must be included. 4.0.7 also ships with a RELEASE_NOTES.txt which must be included. The manual has also been updated, doc/built/pdf/en/RawTherapeeManual_4.0.7.pdf
I suggest DESCRIPTION="A powerful cross-platform raw image processing program." "Powerful" should set it aside from "simple" converters, such as showFoto's raw import, which target a different audience.

When upstream starts making actual tarball releases I'll consider doing so. Currently generating the AboutThisBuild file requires bundling the entire mercurial source tree with the tarball which is a poor practice. Otherwise, upstream could look into allowing the file to be properly generated without requiring the source tree or we'll have to patch it to do that if we want it included.
I should also note that I asked upstream to make actual tarball releases a while ago and they declined [1]. [1]: http://code.google.com/p/rawtherapee/issues/detail?id=901
If a tarball was available, how would that help generate that file?
Nevermind that, I see what you mean.
Are these not good? http://code.google.com/p/rawtherapee/downloads/list
(In reply to comment #7) > Are these not good? > http://code.google.com/p/rawtherapee/downloads/list Not entirely. They still require the hg repository to be bundled in order to build properly without patching.
What can we do about it?
(In reply to comment #9) > What can we do about it? If the tarballs are generated using a script, that script should also generate the files that are currently created using the hg repo info when cmake is run. Basically, building rawtherapee from the release tarballs shouldn't require mercurial or the hg repo to be present in order to generate a complete and proper build.
4.0.8 added to the tree with the same no hg repo workarounds until upstream removes the requirement for it.
Thank you Tim. The AboutThisBuild issue is on the TODO list: http://code.google.com/p/rawtherapee/issues/detail?id=1342
