Description Siuchung Cheung (Clement) 2013-04-30 16:05:32 UTC 
The current version of exiftool is portage chokes on files from olympus e-m5 camera and drop all makernotes. This is a critical problem because it makes the program completely useless if you happen to have that camera. Fix is available in newer versions available upstream.

Renamed latest ebuild to 9.270.0 and installed 9.27 from upstream. Everything works fine now. Probably just need a version bump.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use exiftool on any raw file produced by an olympus e-m5 camera.

Actual Results:  
Warning: MakerNotes too large to write in JPEG segment - P2140020.jpg

(Check output. All makernotes are dropped.)

Expected Results:  
No errors, makernotes present.

Closing since 9.27 has been in the tree for a while, and now 9.50 is there as well.
