[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#795956: digikam: Debian version is getting ancient, blocking sid upgrades

[Peter Gervai]

Package: digikam
Version: 4:4.4.0-1.1+b2
Severity: wishlist

Good day,

It is an ongoing problem that the Debian digikam version is getting rather
old: current release is 4.12.x.

Digikam also was removed from testing due to a build problem and a license
bug (which seem to be invalid by the last comment but still open).

Would it be possible to check / cooperate with Ubuntu maintainers who have a
working 4.12.0 in their repository? Or even back-migrate their changes?

Is there actually anyone maintaining digikam now here around?

Thank you,
Peter
