Comment 1 for bug 502565

OK, I have done test builds with exiv2 0.19 of all rdepends packages in my PPA. Everything builds fine (just rebuild, no source changes), only pyexiv2 and koffice2 have problem to build with newer exiv2.
I have already mailed pyexiv2 author, if he can help with transition (as he did with exiv2 0.18 transition in jaunty). I will also check koffice2 release plans, but I suspect we will get another upstream release in time for Lucid.

My plan is roughly the following:

1. Officially request sync of exiv2 0.19 from debian

2. Fix build or wait for new upstream release:
- pyexiv2
- koffice2

3. Sync newer version from debian:
- geekie
- libextractor
- rawstudio (ubuntu change now in debian)

4. Merge candidates:
- hugin (major release in debian/experimental)

5. Wait until next KDE 4.4 RC (next week):
- kdegraphics
- kdebase-runtime

6. The rest, upload buildX version to pick new exiv2
