Re: [gcmd-dev] [NEW] exiv2: replacement for libexif and iptcdata libraries

[Michael]

Great ! Let's see....oops. It says,

  Exif support   : 
  IPTC support   : 
  ICC support    : 
  ID3 support    : yes
  Vorbis support : yes
  APE support    : yes
  FLAC support   : yes
  chm support    : no
  OLE2 support   : no
  ODF support    : no


(build log attached)

I had:

ii  exiv2                0.14-2               EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation

ii  libexiv2-0           0.14-2               EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation

ii  libexiv2-dev         0.14-2               EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation

ii  libkexiv2-1          0.1.5-1+b1           Qt like interface for the 
libexiv2 library (runtime)
ii  libkexiv2-dev        0.1.5-1+b1           Qt like interface for the 
libexiv2 library (development)

The same without libexiv2-0.10. I wonder about these two:

Package: libexiv2-0.10
Status: install ok installed

Description: EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation library
 Exiv2 library supports:
  * full read and write access to the EXIF and IPTC metadata of an image
    through Exiv2 keys and standard C++ iterators
  * a smart IPTC implementation that does not affect data that programs like
    Photoshop store in the same image segment
  * EXIF MakerNote support:
    o MakerNote tags can be accessed just like any other EXIF metadata
    o a sophisticated write algorithm avoids corrupting the MakerNote:
  * extract and delete methods for EXIF thumbnails (both, JPEG and TIFF
    thumbnails)
  * set methods for EXIF thumbnails (JPEG only, TIFF thumbnails can be set from
    individual tags)
  * complete API documentation (by Doxygen)
  * generic lower-level classes to access IFD (Image File Directory) data
    structures

I don't expect you to grok the debian package djungle.
But perhaps you've some hint.

By the way, what exactly does it include ?

Generally, a full new installation should comprise

- make uninstall
- delete the local svn tree
(- possibly, search for artefacts at this point)
- svn checkout
- configure, make, make install
- In rare cases, rename (backup) ~/.gnome-commander to get a real new default 
configuration
