Re: Problems with conflicting cairo assemblies while compiling f-spot from git

[Paul Wellner Bou <pwellner gmail com>]

Yes, I convinced it to work. Finally.

Fixing the source (replacing the "as" operator with casts) and
excluding Flickr (as it does not compile and it does not work), I get
a running F-Spot.

Unfortunately I can't create a real patch/pull request as it affects
the Hyena csproj files as well.

Regards
Paul.
