Bug#519604: Please package dcraw 8.99
Hi John, The debian package for dcraw is lacking all the i18n that upstream provides. I have been working towards including these in my next release. However, the current dcraw package is very out of date, so it is probably time I updated it with or without i18n support. You are right, it is a simple process to upgrade the basic package, but as dcraw upstream sources don't come with any make mechanism, save a basic shell script, I have to maintain this myself. I am always looking for RAW files for new cameras. I ensure that the new packages can decode them correctly before releasing new packages. If you want to email me any, I would be most grateful. Thanks for your interest in dcraw. Regards, -- Steve King John Zaitseff wrote: Dear Steve et al., As already mentioned in previous e-mails to this bug report, a newer version of dcraw is available. The current version is 8.99; this release supports many newer cameras, including the one I have: the brilliant Canon EOS 7D.

Dear Steve, The debian package for dcraw is lacking all the i18n that upstream provides. I have been working towards including these in my next release. However, the current dcraw package is very out of date, so it is probably time I updated it with or without i18n support. An interim update would be good, at the very least... I am always looking for RAW files for new cameras. I ensure that the new packages can decode them correctly before releasing new packages. If you want to email me any, I would be most grateful. I am successfully running my own packaged version of dcraw with the Canon EOS 7D raw files. Here is one image from my last holiday for you to try (warning: large files!) http://www.zap.org.au/~john/misc/p3-0001383.cr2 [27MB] http://www.zap.org.au/~john/misc/p3-0001383.jpg [9.8MB] Both files are directly from the camera, unaltered in any way.
