Hi,
The upstream shotwell does not build with vala 0.11.* since there are
a bunch of incompatible changes between vala-0.10.x and 0.11.x. Is
there a plan to have a parallel installable vala-0.10.x in
rawhide/f15?
I was looking at that today as well. From what I can see 0.11.x is
needed for gtk3 / libnotify 0.7 and other gnome 3 changes so I think
we're stuck which ever way.
I can't see any other way to get shotwell built. I tried making
changes to shotwell-0.8.0 code to get it to build with vala, but in
the end the vala compiler ends up crashing. Bug report here:
Well as vala generates C code the current version should continue to
function until shotwell 0.9.x comes out and adds support for the newer
vala and it can be compiled or a patch appears in head that we can
apply to 0.8.x
