Hey guys,digikam, showimg and libkexif0 are sitting quite well together in testing. The next step is to upload libkexif1 into unstable so that we can move to the next upstream versions. > When Jean-Michel is ready we should (re)upload libkexif to sid together > with showimg, rebuild kipi-plguins and digikamimageplugins 0.7.2. I don't think we need to wait for showimg in unstable. Unstable is allowed to be broken and have packages in a half built state.

[Everything already prepared in > http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~ach/debian/experimental (with dist = sid)] I intend to upload libkexif1 and rebuilt kipi-plugins and digkameplugins to unstable. They will all sit in unstable until showimg is uploaded to unstable at which time they can all migrate to testing together. I don't want to wait on this any longer. showimg can catch up when it is ready. Mark
