Public bug reported: Currently on Saucy, darktable 1.2.2-2ubuntu1 crashes[1] any time I try to export Canon RAW photos.
Although I haven't yet tracked down the cause of this crash, I do know that merging darktable 1.2.3-1 from Debian testing (or unstable, same version) fixes it. So I think I can make a pretty strong case for why this should get a Feature Freeze Exception: * Even if this crash[1] only effects Canon users, it means darktable in Saucy is completely useless for Canon users (who probably make up the largest group of RAW photo users on Ubuntu); it's likely this crash also effects Nikon users, etc, although I haven't confirmed that yet * The upstream darktable 1.2.3 release[2] seems like a low-risk release focused on stability and security fixes, and additional hardware support * System76 recently did some marketing around darktable[3], so it would make us look a bit silly if this photography workflow wasn't actually possible on Ubuntu 13.10 (a regression) * There's no short way to present the evidence for this, but Ubuntu is well positioned at an opportune time to pick up pro-creative users from some "other platform", so let's please always put our best foot forward :) Note that when I encountered this crash, my first thought was an ABI change in some dependency, but alas, a rebuild didn't fix it.
