I am curious, however: why are you and others so interested in continuing to run Lucid rather than simply updating to Maverick? Is it because Lucid is marked as a long-term-support release, or because there was some change in Maverick you didn't like, or something else? Obviously everyone's situation is unique, but Ubuntu has made it pretty painless to upgrade so I'm honestly a little surprised that so many people who want to use the very latest Shotwell releases want to hold back on upgrading Ubuntu itself. > Hopefully, I've done most of the hard work to pave the way for Shotwell 0.9 > on Ubuntu Lucid.

We encourage people to use newer libraw releases, though, since there have been many improvements and bug fixes since 0.9. adam _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
