Geeqie is almost dead too these days (on the ML all initial devs recently said they don't have time anymore to dedicate to it, also s.o. else seems to have cloned the code to github and is working on it separately so currently there are several svn/git versions floating around), personally I'm not too convinced by the changes made in Geeqie, I still prefer Gqview. Of course that doesn't mean that we can't have both packages just like Mandriva, which also has both Gqview and Geeqie packages in the repos (even in cooker last time I looked). I wouldn't consider Geeqie a replacement, rather a specialized fork aimed at professional photo tagging.
