●● Potential Future Replacement for F-Spot Enters Ubuntu

Summary: Solang enters Karmic Koala repositories

AWARENESS of the questions surrounding Mono has increased considerably and The Nixed Report publishes a detailed essay on the subject. There are also those insisting that it’s “just a tool,” but the point worth making is that this tool fits well in the repositories, without the ramifications of being passed directly from the distributor on the ISOs. And speaking of repositories, Solang has just been added to Ubuntu’s, so hopefully as it matures it can replace F-Spot as the default image manager.

Ironic announcement from Luca Falavigna to announce that Solang is now included in Ubuntu Karmic Koala repositories.

It is another small step in the right direction. Ubuntu pondered replacing even the GIMP with F-Spot. █
