On Ubuntu 22.04, I got update notification on next day, updated it. No 
issues at all. I have added 
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=graphics:darktable=darktable 
to my update site. Hope this helps.



Good luck,


Niranjan

Darktable team can only provide so many binary packages. If they don't provide
a package for your distribution, you'll have to wait until someone else
prepares one.

The latest version was published dec. 21, that's about a week ago, with
christmas in that week. Some of the packagers might have had other obligations
during that time?

And of course, if you are in a hurry, you can always download the source code
and compile dt yourself. Apart from a possible hurdle concerning compiler
versions(*), it's not that difficult. (it's what I did...)

  (*: you need at least GCC 12, and then best use "export CC=gcc-12;export
CXX=g++-12" before starting the build)


Hello,

I second this fully. Packaging is not as just snapping one's fingers.
Forget about flatpaks and snaps which could lead to unexpected 
behaviours, the best is compiling from sources - what I began to do a 
few releases ago.
I install in /usr so as to get things as close as possible from the 
first installation from Pascal D.'s repository, and I use checkinstall 
instead of make install.
The whole process stands below (don't forget to backup your important 
folders) :


   # Désinstallation de darktable (optionnel)
   ## #sudo apt autoremove darktable -y #
   Pré-requis : installation des dépendances
   ### sed -e '/^#\sdeb-src
   /s/^# *//;t;d' "/etc/apt/sources.list" \ | sudo tee
   /etc/apt/sources.list.d/darktable-sources-tmp.list > /dev/null \ &&
   ( sudo apt update sudo apt build-dep darktable ) sudo rm
   /etc/apt/sources.list.d/darktable-sources-tmp.list # Prérequis :
   Outils  sudo apt -y install autoconf automake
   autopoint appstream build-essential checkinstall clang cmake exiv2
   extra-cmake-modules g++-12 git git-all intltool m4 make meson nasm
   ninja-build patch pkg-config tar xsltproc # Prérequis : Dépendances
   # sudo apt -y install libavif-dev
   libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexiv2-27 libexiv2-dev libgmic1 libgtk-3-dev
   libheif1 libimath-3-1-29 libjpeg-dev libjson-glib-dev liblcms2-dev
   liblensfun-dev libportmidi-dev libpugixml-dev libraw20 librsvg2-dev
   libsqlite3-dev libtiff5-dev libxml2-dev libxml2-utils # Clônage du
   dépôt GIT ## git clone --recurse-submodules
   --depth 1 https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable.git cd
   darktable git fetch --tags git checkout tags/release-4.6.0 #
   Récupération des sous-modules ### git
   submodule update --init # Build manuel ## mkdir build/
   cd build/ export CC=gcc-12 export CXX=g++-12 cmake
   -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ .. make sudo checkinstall

Worked flawlessly with 4.4.x (with add-on of 2 new export instructions), 
4.5.0 and latest 4.6.0, I adapt it upon release version and new 
dependancies and other needs such as GCC versions.

As always, before everything : backup all important datas.

Rgrds, and happy New Year celebrations,

J.-Luc

Thanks very much, very grateful for the help. Now I can process the RAW 
images from the Olympus TG-7, I can get into the water now.

Andrew, why not head over to

Linux Mint installation without difficulty.

It isn't hard. Type into terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/darktable
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
