Re: How dead is f-spot

I should also say that this is very much a work in progress, ensure you have a backup of any data you care about etc.

Possibly it might work on earlier versions of Debian/Ubuntu, but I haven't had time to try this yet.

If it helps, I've done quite a bit of work on packaging F-Spot for Debian / Ubuntu.

The results are in my Launchpad PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~christopher-hoskin/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

To use this on Ubuntu Xenial:

1. Set up a Xenial machine using http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/xenial-desktop-amd64.iso

2. Enable universe (e.g. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add 'universe' to the end of each line.)
3. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:christopher-hoskin/ppa
4. sudo apt-get update
5. sudo apt-get install f-spot

I've also used this on Debian Stretch.

If you want to try rebuilding the package, you can get the source using 'apt-get source' or '

dget https://launchpad.net/~christopher-hoskin/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+files/f-spot_0.9.0~20-2.dsc
