Hi folks! ;-)

The fix for the libfolks bug that prevented using it from python just
hit the git master:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/folks/commit/?id=2247cdd5f71a65f330343da2438e68fb8a3ecfd3

I think the way to go would be to provide an updated libfolks from our
PPA, so we can easily install the fixed version, and later users can get
it from the same channel as the lens itself.

I see two options doing this:

      * Start with folks 0.6.3.2 (which is in Oneiric) and cherry-pick
        that patch. This way, we stay closer to Ubuntu, but also might
        miss other fixes in later upstream releases.
      * Package git master, and update it. Once a new release containing
        the fix is made, we might decide to stay with that.

I am not too familiar with packaging, especially not with the different
patch systems debian uses. So I’d like to ask if there is someone among
us who would volunteer for packaging libfolks. Otherwise, I will try to
learn a bit more about packaging, but this might take some time.

Regards
Frederik
