Also on the agenda is integrated end-to-end Colour Management possibly
using colord [4], something I know absolutly nothing about, so any
feedback or suggestions people have on that will be very welcome. For
starters the dependencies for colord are glib and policykit.
Kai-Uwe Behrmann (maintainer of KDE color management applications) can
help you here. Grab him on http://www.oyranos.org/ and make sure he attends
the meeting ;)
Well... Kai-Uwe and Richard Hughes have had huge discussions on colord
on the openicc mailing list
(http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openicc) -- too huge for
me to follow them. This list might be a good starting place for more
info. For what I got out of it, colord seems to be, like so many
"generic" libraries be focussed on gnome/gtk-first, while oyranos
(Kai-Uwe's system) is burdened by using a config system that nobody
packages. But that impression might be outdated and is certainly
over-simplified.
Agreed, the discussion threads are very long. But we are about to extract
important ideas[1][2] and turn them into proposals[3].
Oyranos ships with the needed configuration code inside its source tree
since the last release at begin of this year.
The library comes with a CUPS module for printing, and further SANE (which
needs patches), Xorg, Quarz monitor and CameraRAW modules.
What would be cool to have are a Quarz module for printing and make the
library fit for Windows' WCS.
kind regards
Kai-Uwe Behrmann
