Description:

There is a bug with the version of enfuse arch packages where it creates too large of an image with a black border on the right and bottom of the image.

I have reported this issue to the enfuse developers ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/enblend/+bug/1970518 ) and after some investigation we found that Arch is packaging a ~3 year old version from the development branch.

If I build enblend/enfuse from source using ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enblend-hg ) then this seems to fix the bug.

I am creating this as a bug rather then a "flag out of date" because I can see the following comment in the PKGBUILD for enblend-enfuse that seems to suggest enblend needs a more up to date version of exiv2 then what Arch currently supports so I am not sure it will be possible to just upgrade to the latest version of what is off the head?

"# The latest revision moves to C++17 instead of boost but requires exiv2 2.28 which is currently unreleased"

I am also creating this in addition to the report I made to the enblend team because it sounds like Arch may be using a non-stable version off the development branch so I am not sure if there is any expectation that the enblend team will patch this issue for us?

Additional info:
* package version(s)
** pacman -Qi enblend-enfuse
Name : enblend-enfuse
Version : 4.2.r1524+h4c30a326b3f4-2
* config and/or log files etc.:
** See upstream report
* link to upstream bug report, if any:
** https://bugs.launchpad.net/enblend/+bug/1970518

I don’t remember how it went exactly, but IIRC a newer build with exiv2 was required, but current master indeed requires an unreleased version of exiv2. I guess that if you try to build -hg with exiv2 from repos it does not work. We will need to wait for at least exiv2 to release, and ideally enblend-enfuse too though we should just be able to find a proper point of current master for that.

I was curious how it is that I was able to build the enblend-hg AUR package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enblend-hg) without the new version of exiv2. Looks like that is building enblend without the "--with-exiv2" flag.

As the enblend documentaiton states:

** --with-exiv2=CHECK/yes/no

Use Exiv2 library for meta-data transfer of the input images to the
result. Without this library Enblend or Enfuse will not copy any EXIF
meta data.


Would building enblend-enfuse without this flag be a workable option? I suspect that many/most people using enblend/enfuse are using it via the hugin package which already uses exiftool to copy exif data to the final stitched image.

I need to find out why I added exiv2. If I did so, there must have been some reason normally… But if can’t find it, we can try, and affected people might then complain.

I took a look at https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/ for both enblend-enfuse and hugin. Looks like there are a few people (~4%) that have installed enblend-enfuse without hugin but it is pretty rare:
