The following message concerns darktable major update 2.x (actually on EPEL7 = 1.6.x) My interpretation of EPEL packaging guidelines [1] is that the major update darktable 2.x should be pushed as a darktable2 package [2]. Moreover, once you read XML files (generated by darktable) of photos using darktable 2.x, you will not be any longer able to use them with darktable 1.6.x Kalev Lember said [3] about [1]: ====== I think this applies mostly to libraries in order to keep ABI/API stable in EPEL. I don't think the policy is meant to keep leaf desktop apps on old, unsupported versions forever. ====== Since Kalev is a reliable member of the community, I want to listen to his suggestion, but since I am not 100% sure, I would like to ask for a feedback from EPEL mailing list members.
