There is an open source application that appears to compete with GIMP
plus plugins for handling digital camera images. The package is called
darktable,
URL:
http://www.darktable.org/about/
The claim is that it will install under SL6, preferably X86-64
RHEL 6 / SL 6 / Centos 6, using the following sequence:
install the linuxtech.repo config file if you don't have it
already:
su - root
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/release/linuxtech.repo
install darktable:
yum --enablerepo=linuxtech-testing install darktable
Does anyone have experience with either this application or the
linuxtech repository? Does anyone know if this is a "safe" repository
to use? Had EL proper polymorphism and encapsulation, this sort of
issue would not arise; however, under the present design, if a
repository (e.g., linuxtech) overwrites a systems library, etc., the
results can be less than desirable.
