It's pretty clear that rawspeed must be unbundled, then, and from both. Rawspeed upstream says that darktable's fork contributes back regularly and the only change is disabling support for certain cameras not supported by darktable. I wonder why this is a problem for darktable. Germano, could you ask darktable developers what the changes are between their fork and canonical rawspeed upstream? Please also produce a diff and post it somewhere. > > I have provided some comments in your issue report on rawspeed's github: > > https://github.com/klauspost/rawspeed/issues/109 Judging by last comment, upstream is receptive to the idea of at least adding an option to build rawspeed as a library (i.e. patches welcome). > > Could you please do the same in your report on darktable's redmine?
