Very snarky, Mike. I hope it's just snarky enough to finally get the 
good and serious attention that this repository misdirection for Fotoxx 
has lacked for years.

Others: Please, please, correct this pain-inducing misdirection. Fotoxx 
is so good that Ubuntu should want to feature it. At least, don't 
continue to advertise significantly years-old versions that no longer 
can perform well, instead of the nifty current versions. Mike Cornelison 
will aim you at the source for your repository.

Thanks as always for what you do to make Ubuntu good; fixing this error 
will greatly help.

OK, it is confirmed. I guess that is progress.
It even seems to be fixed, although unassigned.
Now how about just deleting it.
The 12.01 version is too old. 
A current version is available from the Getdeb PPA.

[Bug 1336808] Re: old version of Fotoxx in repositories is mislabeled as current version

[A. Richard Miller]

Hear me, oh Ubuntu! How can you abandon one of the very best Linux
application programs of all, Fotoxx? Please offer up-to-date versions,
instead!

That's all that should be necessary to say. But that message has been
ignored for two-and-a-half years, so please read the rest.

Fotoxx is smaller and faster than any other equally competent photo editor and 
manager - and it's very competent indeed! It's also a pleasure to use, for 
beginners through advanced users. It's ready for use (just not in the Ubuntu 
Software Center). It's well-documented in English and other languages:
http://www.kornelix.com/fotoxx.html

So why has Ubuntu treated Fotoxx so badly? For years, the Ubuntu
Software Center has claimed that an obsolete version of this great
program is up to date. Not so! The years-old version you've offered
often won't even load properly, and Ubuntu changes over that time can
cause it to delete data. Thus frustrated would-be users report bugs,
and the good looks bad.

And yet, you continue to ignore the author's repository, which is
updated on the first of every month. Marius Nestor has just written a
fine Softpedia announcement of the latest, Fotoxx 14.07, which also has
appeared in Lxer.com and elsewhere.  Simultaneously, finally, the Ubuntu
Software Center has updated the file-DATE to today's proper Fotoxx 14.07
- but sadly, it still downloads the same old and dangerous Fotoxx 12.01!

We understand that the Ubuntu Software Center is stretched thin. But, Canonical 
and volunteers, please make this right for Ubuntu and its users. (I now see 
that Launchpad lists a Fotoxx maintainer who explains that he does NOT 
maintain it; will a maintainer please step into that gap?) Give Ubuntu users 
the great Linux program they deserve; it's always available for download in the 
/packages section of its home page, at:
http://www.kornelix.com/packages.html

Please keep this great program current in your Ubuntu Software Center. I
and many other enthusiastic Ubuntu and Fotoxx users will thank you!
