[Shotwell] Mistaken Duplicates?

[David Velazquez]

Shotwell .8.1 will not be backported for Lucid due to (I think) issues with
the minimum and maximum versions of Vala it can use. You can, however, build
Shotwell from source. While this is more difficult than using the PPA it's
really not nearly as difficult as it sounds. You can view the dependencies
for it here: http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/, download the stable source
for it here: http://yorba.org/download/shotwell/0.8/shotwell-0.8.1.tar.bz2 ,
and view a little more information here on exiv and gexiv2, both of which
are required.

If you want to live on the bleeding edge of things you can use a guide
contributed from one of Shotwells users, Bengt Thuree, located here:
