I'm trying to update Photo (shotwell) from 0.1 to 0.22.0 but don't let me do that... incompatible version of libGphoto.
I appreciate a good update for photos, because is too much unstable.
So I have two questions How to update photos? There is an major update from elementary OS?
Good Luck!!
It is not advisable to upgrade photos because, it may leads to incompatible issues. The reason is Shotwell 0.1.1 is based on schema 21 where as the version is 0.18 (or other) based on schema 20.
But even you can view/open photos (images) from shotwell
If still want latest version:
From the output of apt-cache policy shotwell:
ravan@ravan:~$ apt-cache policy shotwell
shotwell:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 0.18.0-0ubuntu4
The available version is: 0.18.
You can install with the commands:
sudo apt-get install shotwell-common # to satisfy dependency in my case
sudo apt-get install shotwell
The available version via ppa: 0.20
To install:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yorba/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install shotwell
Note: shotwell 0.22 is not available for freya at present, see here
Photos is the "The elementary continuation of Shotwell", so I think it is advisable to stick with it. Besides that, shotwell 0.22 can be installed only on Ubuntu 14.10+ while freya is based on 14.04.
