Hello,
promised temporary repository for that exporter (compatible with F-Spot
0.8.2) has been created at http://sourceforge.net/projects/f-spotrajcenet/.
Provided zip file includes also all common makefiles updated. However,
Monodevelop project and solution files are not included, because I was not
able to get it working even for the latest f-spot source checked out by git
(still problems with invalid references to "nunit", regardless of
configuring project with or without --enable-tests option).
Best regards
Petr
