openSUSE
by Anon on Wednesday 02/Apr/2008, @10:40

Does anybody know where openSUSE (11.0 factory) users can find the new digikam? It seems neither to be available as single package nor in some extragear-RPM.

This is strange, as for any other KDE4 package than Digikam (and, equally unfortunately, k3B) openSUSE offers superb support and up to date packages., even of development versions.

Only for these two apps, my favorites beside Amarok, you can't use a KDE4 version.

They are still in alpha state, it is not very common (for any distribution) to provide alpha quality software by default. You can create a kde-devel account and compile them from svn everyday, like I do. That not hard at all, and you have cutting edge apps everyday.

By the way, three more screenshot I took from digikam (compiled today)

There is again new suggestion for selecting files, currently i use double click mode and i like ctrl+shift modes because those works for everything else too, on SVG editing, image editing and text editing, not just file management.

It's just very dificult way to get something better when there is so many posibilies what use one way but cant work with others.

"They are still in alpha state, it is not very common (for any distribution) to provide alpha quality software by default."

Obviously you have either not used openSUSE or not read my posting ;). openSUSE DOES provide quite commonly a wide rande of KDE4-and-apps-RPMs, mostly unstable development versions (e.g. a pretty usable KDE4.1 snapshot repository, updated every few days). That means the average openSUSE user does NOT have to use a SVN account, nor to compile any program, but must only add a "KDE:UNSTABLE" repository to the system.
See http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/UNSTABLE:/

However, while there are lots of other software pieces, from pretty usable to "crashing all the time" state in this repo, I cannot find neither Digikam nor K3B (which is told to be quite usable already).
