Package: mapivi Version: 0.9.7-1.1 Severity: normal This upstream has not released the tarball recently from 2008 but he is still actively updating code in the SVN repo.
In his svn repo started 2009 as r1, now it is r334 in 2016. svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/mapivi/code/ mapivi-code (SF web site info) git svn clone svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/mapivi/code/ mapivi-code (This works better) https://sourceforge.net/projects/mapivi/ https://sourceforge.net/p/mapivi/code/commit_browser This is one of a few GUI interface tool to batch adjust the internal EXIF time stamp with fixed time difference which is quite convenient when you realize your picture files have wrong time stamp inside. This is important if you have multiple camera and if you want to match time line properly. (FYI: phatch was suppose to have similar capability but it is not working in Debian now and I tried to port FEDORA patches but there were still some problems. Also its real upstream is non-active. So I think it is not worth spending time on my time. Writing script with jhread etc., is a bit cumbersome.) So it is a good idea to bring this tool up to date by packaging the updated upstream code. If no one objects, I may hijack this when I find some time :-) The maintainer is not touching this package for 8 years. It's amazing how stable this software is with just one NMU to fix a Perl oddity change. There are only 3 bugs which are easy to be addressed: #592945 mapivi: the add coment and edit comment windows do not have any buttons --> "Add comment" seems OK --> "Edit comment" does not open .. ??? --> Probably fixed in upstream by now ??? #796376 mapivi: please make the build reproducible --> patch available in BTS #675948 mapivi: Doesn't appear in the XFCE menu --> Its problem for Gnome/KDE too --> Just add a desktop file if upstream has not #NOT_REPORTED --> Probably fixed in upstream by now ??? --> Upstream comment says v1.1 so naming upstream version like 1.0.r??? should be OK --> Does not return to the shell prompt upon exit sometimes ??? (needs to be checked) --> Missing usable watch file --> Strange console outputs: --------------------------- | $ mapivi | | Mapivi 0.9.7 - Martin's Picture Viewer and Organizer | Copyright (C) 2002 - 2008 Martin Herrmann | Mapivi comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute | it under certain conditions. | | XS_Tk__Callback_Call error:not a Tk object | Tk::die_with_trace at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/ProgressBar.pm line 101 | Tk::ProgressBar::_arrange at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/After.pm line 90 | (eval) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/After.pm line 90 | Tk::After::once at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/Widget.pm line 1006 | (eval) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/Widget.pm line 1006 | Tk::Widget::waitVariable at /usr/bin/mapivi line 12836 | main::checkDialog at /usr/bin/mapivi line 5023 | main::makeDir at /usr/bin/mapivi line 3068 | main::generateThumbs at /usr/bin/mapivi line 15552 | main::updateThumbs at /usr/bin/mapivi line 2096 | main::startup at /usr/bin/mapivi line 1606 | | XS_Tk__Callback_Call error:not a Tk object | Tk::die_with_trace at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/ProgressBar.pm line 101 | Tk::ProgressBar::_arrange at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/After.pm line 90 | (eval) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/After.pm line 90 | Tk::After::once at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/Widget.pm line 1006 | (eval) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Tk/Widget.pm line 1006 | Tk::Widget::waitVariable at /usr/bin/mapivi line 12836 | main::checkDialog at /usr/bin/mapivi line 5023 | main::makeDir at /usr/bin/mapivi line 3068 | main::generateThumbs at /usr/bin/mapivi line 15552 | main::updateThumbs at /usr/bin/mapivi line 2096 | main::startup at /usr/bin/mapivi line 1606 | | ^C | $ mapivi | | Mapivi 0.9.7 - Martin's Picture Viewer and Organizer | Copyright (C) 2002 - 2008 Martin Herrmann | Mapivi comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute | it under certain conditions. | | Use of uninitialized value $rc in string ne at /usr/bin/mapivi line 9313. | --------------------------- For now I am a happy user of this old but very stable tool.
