Thanks Jeremy. It's a bit challenging for anyone doing photography work with recent hardware. Key apps like darktable and digicam rely on this library and ubuntu/debian are way behind. Last year's fedora had 0.26.
Flatpaks could help, I tried darktable's and it includes an updated exiv2, but it has a huge drawback, OpenCL doesnt work with flatpaks (or snaps) yet, so its useless in my case (my photography workstation is built specifically for photo editing with opencl) I guess there is no choice but to try and build exiv2 manually and hope the system doesnt break :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to exiv2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1715931 Title: Update to exiv2 version 0.26 Status in exiv2 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in exiv2 package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: 0.26 was released in April http://www.exiv2.org/whatsnew.html "This release contains a large collection of new features, new lenses and bugfixes across all areas of Exiv2. " Presumably debian stretch freeze interfered with a prompter update Currently in debian exp here: https://packages.debian.org/experimental/exiv2 I was hoping to to get a new feature release of the very popular Digikam (5.7.0) into artful under a FFE, but that has bumped the minimum exiv2 build depend from 0.25 -> 0.26. If due to rdeps etc an update in artful turns out not to be possible, I would like to target this for early in 18.04 LTS cycle.
