Hi all,
Way back in August I was working on back porting Shotwell 0.11 to Lucid
and Maverick. After a couple of false starts I eventually got a working
version, but it would not persist settings. Yesterday I back ported
0.11.5 for Lucid/Maverick and published it to my PPA but it still has
the same issue with settings not persisting.
However, I have been working on creating a fully functional back port
for Lucid and Maverick and I hope to release my efforts later today.
Sorry for the delay in getting around to fixing this stuff but real life
got in the way a bit recently ;-) In order to complete this work I've
collected a hefty list of build tools in order to back port:
* glib2.0 2.72.4 - which is new enough to support d-conf but not too
new as to break everything else
* d-conf 0.7.3 - which enables Shotwell settings to persist
I've tested the new back port on a clean Lucid install and it is
working just fine, although throwing a warning about
'gsettings-data-convert' not being available. The 'gconf' package in
Mavericks includes 'gsettings-data-convert' so I am currently back
porting gconf 2.31.91 to Lucid. 'gsettings-data-convert' is used to
migrate your existing Shotwell settings to d-conf, so it is not critical
that I back port gconf to Lucid, but I am going to try in order to get
Shotwell back ported and running as completely (and cleanly) as
possible.
I'll report back here when I have completed my testing and released the
packages.
