[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#682588: darktable: debian darktable linked against libtif5 to support lzma compression

[Dr. Johannes Zellner]

Package: darktable
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: wishlist

currently darktable on debian appears to be linked against libtif4.

It would be an advantage to have it linked against libtif5 which supports lzma
compression.

lzma seems to compress by far better compared to the other compression
algorithms implemented in libtif, so I'd prefer to compress my tif images with
lzma.

What do you think about linking darktable against libtif5?
