Could we have a build for the last stable version of digikam for non KDE 4.* systems? Currently portage ships 0.9.5_beta3 - 0.9.5 final is out, and is the last KDE 3 version for those too scared to upgrade to KDE 4 :-) Reproducible: Always
At least, digikam 0.9.5 can be compiled by renaming digikam-0.9.5_beta3.ebuild to digikam-0.9.5.ebuild . Compiled successfully on x86 with gcc-4.3.2-r3, no extra useflags.
Please stabilize. <0.9.5* has a nasty temp file problem which more than one time filled my whole /var - which basically halted the whole system. It's the following upstream bug: 030 ==> 142457 : Temp files not cleaned up after crashes. The beta seems to lack translations so please bring it in portage, and mark it stable.
Created attachment 190268 [details, diff] patch to raise ebuild dependencies According to comment 2 on the release announcement, 0.9.5 release should use the latest versions of libkdcraw and libkexiv2: http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/432 I make those >=media-libs/libkexiv2-0.1.9 and >=media-libs/libkdcraw-0.1.8, which both build with renamed ebuilds, see the bugs which block this one. Whether media-libs/libkexiv2-0.1.9 then requires media-gfx/exiv2-0.18.1 (the current release) or not is not clear, so I've assumed it isn't.
I don't think we need to change dependencies to: >=media-libs/libkexiv2-0.1.9 >=media-libs/libkdcraw-0.1.8 Keeping the current: >= >=media-libs/libkdcraw-0.1.7 , seems fine. The 0.9.5 release information (see #3) state that dependencies have been updated to libkdcraw-0.1.6, exiv2-0.18 (which is pulled by libkexiv2-0.1.8). So there doesn't seem to be any motivation to force anything more recent. After compiling & testing with media-libs/libkdcraw-0.1.7 media-libs/libkexiv2-0.1.8-r1 media-gfx/exiv2-0.18.1 , I can't see anything wrong. Since there is no >=media-libs/libkexiv2-0.1.9 & >=media-libs/libkdcraw-0.1.8 in portage right now, I say that we keep the same dependencies as the _beta3. To make 0.9.5 stable we'll need to stabilize at minimum media-libs/libkdcraw-0.1.7, media-libs/libkexiv2-0.1.8 and media-gfx/exiv2-0.18. IMO, waiting to get the latest versions in portage and then stabilizing them will take too long, and it doesn't seem to be required.
bumped to 0.9.5 thx for report
