The darktable-1.1.x branch is what will become 1.1.2 in a week or two. So you can either manually build our darktable-1.1.x branch from git Or you can download the .orig.tar.gz and .debian.tar.gz files from my darktable unstable ppa https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-unstable/+packages This contains pre-release builds of darktable-1.1.x for Ubuntu. It's not a good idea to install Ubuntu binary packages on Debian, you can however fairly easily rebuild the package sources like so: $ sudo apt-get install debhelper dpkg-dev fakeroot $ sudo apt-get build-dep darktable $ tar zxvf darktable_$VERSION.orig.tar.gz $ cd darktable-$VERSION $ tar zxvf ../darktable_$VERSION.debian.tar.gz $ nano -w debian/changelog (replace ~quantal with ~debian in the top entry) $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot As a sidenote, you can find more general information on camera support here: http://www.darktable.org/2012/10/whats-involved-with-adding-support-for-new-cameras/ Regards, Pascal de Bruijn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
