It looks like the new additions at github are getting pushed to the sourceforge master branch db periodically, which means that if a lens was added at github very recently, it may not appear at sourceforge yet. Aside from that, the sourceforge files have probably been better checked for any possible errors, etc, and are probably the best bet. In either case, you should probably make the following changes to the .xml file: Remove the DOCTYPE declaration on the first line <!DOCTYPE lensdatabase SYSTEM "lensfun-database.dtd"> and change the version to "1" in the line that follows <lensdatabase version="2"> otherwise darktable may not like them (you'll see a warning on the console output). You might want to put any that you add this way into ~/.local/share/lensfun directly, rather than the updates directory, to prevent it being clobbered by future runs of lensfun-update-data (although hopfully any future successful updates using this method would make the added file redundant anyway). -- jys ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
