[needs-packaging] Solang 0.4.1

[Kẏra]

Binary package hint: solang

Please update solang to upstream's 0.4.1 release.
http://live.gnome.org/Solang/

New Features:

Replaced our own database with Tracker. SPARQL is used to gain access to the meta information about the photos. Photos are in the Nepomuk desktop ontology represented by the classnmm:Photo. Tags are in the same ontology represented in itsannotation section. They are represented by the class nao:Tag.

The folder importer is now obsolete and has been removed because Tracker automatically indexes all photos on the system.

Photo meta-data are now obtained from Tracker instead of reading Exif directly.

Improved thumbnail management. Rely on an implementation of the Thumbnail Management Specification, such as Tumbler, for creating thumbnails. Created thumbnails are now stored according to the Thumbnail Managing Standard.

No separate editor renderer. Photos can now be edited directly in the enlarged renderer.

Moved the UI controls for the browser render’s pagination bar and zoomer to more standard locations. The previous and next buttons, and slider are now part of the main toolbar, while the currently displayed range is indicated in the status bar.

UI cleanup. No text is shown in the thumbnail view and all additions or removals to the search basket are now automatic.

New dependencies on GEGLmm, Tracker, D-Bus GLib and the org.freedesktop.thumbnails.xxx D-Bus services. Minimum required version of GEGL is 0.1.x.

Dropped dependencies on Exiv2, Flickcurl, LibGdamm, LibGPhoto2, LibSoup and WebKit Gtk+.

Regressions:

Camera and Flickr importers are absent.

There is no date view or searching based on dates.

Changes made to photos can not be saved and there is no undo/redo.

The scale, brightness, contrast and saturation operations are missing from the editor.

Tags do not have an icon associated with them.

What about 0.4.1?

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (andrewsomething)]

Unsubscribe the sponsorship team as there doesn't seem to be anything to actually sponsor.

[Andrea Colangelo (warp10)]

Solang depends on geglmm, which is a buggy and deprecated library, whose latest update is 1+ years ago. Therefore, geglmm is not acceptable in our archive, and we can't package solang until upstream drop this dependency.
