[Shotwell] Running an older version of Shotwell with a database from newer version

[EnochRoot]

Hi there Shotwellers

I've recently moved from Xubuntu to CrunchBang after troublesome 11.10
upgrade. As CrunchBang is by default using Debian Squeeze, the version of
Shotwell is quite a bit older than the one I was using on Xubuntu so get an
error on startup about the database being created from a newer version which
is indeed the case.

Am going to investigate what options I have for getting a newer version of
Shotwell - obviously could compile from source but am not certain that my
box will have new enough versions of all the lib dependencies. Does anyone
happen to know if Shotwell can be built on Debian Squeeze as is ?

Would it be safe to mv my ~/.shotwell directory and re-import photos, or do
I just need to move the SQLite database itself out of the way ?

Cheers

Enoch
