[Shotwell] 0.8.1 update: Problem with CR2 files from a Canon EOS 550D

[Adam Dingle]

Bruce,

To be clear, Shotwell itself does not include libraw: it just uses 
whichever version of libraw happens to be available on your machine.  We 
do have plans to add libraw 0.12 to the Yorba PPA (see 
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2583), but that's not done yet.  We might 
do that soon, or wait for the 0.9 release - that's still undecided.  If 
you're in a hurry, though, it shouldn't be too hard to build and install 
libraw 0.12.2 on your Maverick box, and then Shotwell will use it.

cheers
adam
