I have integrated the new FlickrNet library version 1.4.1 in F-Spot
build system and I have started to play with it a little. The import
Flickr feature continue working after fixing a little bug (maybe a
Flickr API change).

I plan to try to fix/extend the flickr support in order we can use
Yahoo! accounts. If FlickrNet supports it, as the release notes say, I
think it will be easy to do it. We will have two text entries in the
Flickr export dialog, one for use the old auth system (I suppose it will
be closed in the next future) and another one to use the new system.

When I have something working I will announce it so you can test it. I
am working as always in the F-Spot subversion repository in:

https://acs.barrapunto.org/svn/f-spot/

Here is where FlickrNet is already integrated with F-Spot. I think it is
the best idea to have the library in our code base until it is a mature
library with packages for the main distributions.
