Forking does not contribute to the project. It contributes to a new project, which darktable may not necessarily adopt. Then I have to also fork darktable, which means that I have now solved my problem, and my problem only, until my fork of exiv2 is merged back into the original project, which is g

Why don’t you take over the responsibility for the project? And be fully accountable for a possible copyright or patent infringement? It is presumptuous to demand something from others that you are not willing to contribute yourself. > Am 29.01.2021 um 20:11 schrieb Top Rock Photography > : >

My only concern is that, although AVIF is not patent encumbered, he refused to add the reading/writing of metadata data to AVIF, until he speaks to a lawyer. That has been quite a long time ago and so, my AVIF files made by darktable seem to have no metadata. Currently, Exiftool is no better (in t

Because of several comments and the general tone of the posts by Robin Mills (and some of the current contributors to exiv2) on PIXLS.US during the last year, which I won't link here. The two linked discussions were meant to show that there are people working on exiv2, and that although Robin's ret

I don't see why you conclude the exiv2 project is safe. After a full month of appeals there is still no maintainer announced in the first thread you link to, nor on the web site, nor on the github site. Doug C. On Tue, 19 Jan 2021 15:11:50 -0500 Guillermo Rozas wrote The fut

From reading various notes, DT uses exiv2 to write the xmp sidecars. I'm wondering what will happen since Robin Mills, the maintainer has retired and will not provide any further updates. It doesn't look like anybody else is taking over/forking exiv2. How will this impact Darktable? -- sknahT
