MapiVi - Linux Image Management Software

Image Management Software is a bit thin on the ground in the Linux world. Apart from Kalbum and Gthumb (neither one of which has IPTC editing) the only app available seems to be MapiVi (Martin's Picture Viewer - http://herrmanns-stern.de/software/mapivi/mapivi.shtml After some considerable effort, I managed to get this installed on Yarrow, however I'd like to do something to make this available as a Fedora'ized set of RPMs. The problem is, that MapiVi is dependent on a number of components that are poorly maintained and almost impossible to acquire in RPM or even SRPM form. The Perl module sources I worked from were obtained mainly using the cpan tool, but if anyone has any links to either RPMs or SRPMs that install/compile properly under Yarrow, I'd be very grateful. Here's the components I need, preferably in SRPM form: MapiVi - I'm working on an RPM now - Work In Progress libjpeg-6b-29 - With the lossless patch - Done Image Magick - Included with Yarrow - Done **** Perl/Tk - Where's the source, Luke? - Lost In Space Image::Info - Ditto - Ditto **** Tk::JPEG - Done - Done Image::IPTCInfo - Done - Done The Perl/Tk thing has me stumped. Has it been dropped? Is GTk the new Tk? What is the relationship between Tk, GTk and tcl? What is the specific reason that Perl/Tk is not a core part of the distro? Is it too old and crap ... to put it bluntly? -- Keith G. Robertson-Turner "The only liberties people have, are those they take." Palladium is not the solution, it is the problem. www.antitcpa.com
