Please backport f-spot-0.4.4 from intrepid

[Jean Levasseur]

Here are (from f-spot website) the hot points of 0.4.4 over 0.4.3 (available in hardy-updates).

    * various FullScreen enhancements: fading widgets, snapped on screen edges, ...
    * rating with hotkeys: use Alt-0 to Alt-5 in browse or edit mode to rate
    * reduce startup time by ~40%, depending on your db size
    * push back the "sort tag by popularity" feature removed on 0.4.3.1
    * choose the theme you prefer for f-spot, even switch theme without restart with gtk-sharp 2.12.2
    * reduce the verbosity of the output log. use --debug for full debugging output
    * migrate CDExport to gio for gnome 2.22
    * an insane amount of other fixes, new capabilities, updated translations and refactoring

Here is a debdiff of the backport. It's is straight, but needs gtk-sharp2-gapi, which is not backported yet, but I am willing to work on it.

For those that want to test the package, it is available on my ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~foxmike/+archive

To install, you will also need ruben ppa (I'm working to make gtk-sharp2-gapi directly available from my ppa):
https://launchpad.net/~ruben/+archive.

Update:
Here is the debdiff of gtk-sharp2-2.12.1-1ubuntu1 backported from Intrepid. Backport was direct, no change needed (as with f-spot). Packages are sent to my ppa for anyone that wants to test them:
https://launchpad.net/~foxmike/+archive

Jean.

Debdiff is here for revu.

Marking this New. In Progress has special meaning in Backports. Please do not mark packages In Progress.

Given the dependency wait issues, this is now Incomplete until all the source level changes can be mail and tested by a core-dev.

It looks like this bug requests a backport from Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid
Ibex). However, as Intrepid is no longer supported, such a backport is
no longer possible.

This bug is being set to "Won't Fix". If you would still like to move
forward with this backport request, please re-open the bug and adjust
it to request a backport from a current release.

error, please feel free to re-open the bug)
