Hi,

exiv2 0.26 -> 0.27 broke many ports earlier in the year.  My ports
search shows it was used by KDE4 and Gnome3 graphics ports.

I'm interested in graphics/geeqie which had a 1.5 release that addressed
the exiv2 upgrade.  The newer geeqie supports gtk2/3 and has a
libgphoto2 plugin that obviates graphics/gtkam.

My sense is that an exiv2 upgrade will depend on the KDE4 packages which
will likely require maintainer patches.  Gnome3/KDE5 upstream will have
patched/released for exiv2 0.27.*

Geeqie 1.5 should build against the older exiv2 and I'm willing to
attempt if it fits into the overall plan for KDE4/exiv2.  Is exiv2
slated for an upgrade in the near future?  Any reason not to use the
gtk3 toolkit for geeqie?

Thanks
