New upstream version available

[Rogério Theodoro de Brito]

Hi.

I'm really sorry if I'm making any (social) mistake by using a long habit of reporting wishlist bugs to ubuntu the way that I do it in Debian. Feel free to point me the correct direction of doing it the ubuntu-way...

That being said, Ubuntu's zesty version of shotwell is considerably behind the version that is currently in Debian (testing has upstream version 0.24.5, disguised as 0.25.4+really0.24.5-0.1) while my up-to-date zesty system has only 0.22.0+git20160108.r1.f2fb1f7-0ubuntu3.

Would it be possible to get rid of the delta (as far as feasible) between Debian and Ubuntu?

Thanks,

Rogério Brito.

No problem. :)

This has already been reported as bug 1581180 though, so I'll mark this as a duplicate and leave a comment there.

I don't know. The delta looks quite big and seems to contain things like Unity support. I don't know if this has made its way upstream or to Debian...

The problem isn't unity support (that's upstream) but UOA. That should improve with 0.27, unfortunately I didn't find time to finish the UOA implementation for 0.26.

No problems marking the bug as a duplicate. I am still learning my way
around Ubuntu-land after lightly using it a few years ago. :)

Oh, I see. I read the original bug report and now I see that this is
still being worked on. To the packagers, can we, OTOH, have a version
without that UOA?

BTW, Jens, thank you so very much for maintaining shotwell. It is only
photo manager that I know of that is lightweight even when used
without large desktop environments!

Thanks,
