Work on bringing F-Spot back to life is ongoing.
I'm currently working on building packages for Debian Stretch and Ubuntu
Xenial. My most recent package is available in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~christopher-hoskin/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
Please note that this is NOT ready yet. Currently it crashes when you try
to import pictures.
Development is happening on GitHub:
https://github.com/mono/f-spot
Discussion here:
https://gitter.im/mono/f-spot
I expect help would be welcomed!

I've converted to Shotwell. With this version [0.22.0-1.4.x86_64] it<br>
has worked well and the import was flawless. Duplicate detection seems<br>
effective, tags were preserved. and the library monitoring is really<br>
nice.<br>
