[Pkg-phototools-devel] critical 2GB bug in debian packages of gphoto2, but fixed in latest revisions

[Michael Ole Olsen]

Thanks, I will report it as a bug later today when I get the time (or
tomorrow, since you're on vacation :-)

The bug was fixed in newest tarball of gphoto2 when I reported it earlier.
(a few months ago).

It wasn't fixed in debian unstable at that time.

It was a linux LFS (large file support bug) according to the bugtracker I
found and I think it was in the changelog of gphoto2 tarball too.

Lots of people have cameras with video feature nowadays, so I think it is a
critical bug to be fixed (especially when it is already fixed, I hope it will
get into debian too)
