Greetings,

My name is Cyril Bouthors and I'm the new Debian maintainer of camE.

First of all, let me thank you for your great work you've done for the
last years about camE , it's a great soft that I've been using for
quite a while now.

We had feedback from Debian users and they want two little
modifications to camE:

 1) Allow the image to be further processed with external tools by
    moving the action_post_shot code to after save_image()

    This can be achieved by applying the patch called
    action_post_shot-after-save.patch into CVS.

    More information can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/296954

 2) remove the dependency to arial.ttf, which is a non-free font
    provided by Microsoft under a specific and proprietary license.

    This can be achieved by applying the patch called free_font.patch
    into CVS, which basically replaces arial.ttf by FreeSans.ttf

    More information can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/357971

Please have a look at the attachments. I hope you'll include them into
the CVS soon and into the next upstream release.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any suggestion or
remark.

Best regards.
