True.

Not true. Maybe you just haven't installed a proper version system wide?

$ pwd
/data/garnome/garnome-2.10.2

$ find . -maxdepth 3 -name "*exif*"

$ rpm -qa | grep exif
libexif9-0.5.12-3mdk
libexif9-devel-0.5.12-3mdk

GARNOME (especially Nautilus) picks up the distro provided version for
me.


Hint: If you need to build some packages regularly for GARNOME or want
some additional ones, just create the garball yourself and use GARNOME
to build it. It's very easy in most cases, and I do have a collection of
some deps and additional goodies locally.

Basically you just need an adjusted Makefile in a new garball dir. 'make
makesum' will even create the checksums file automatically for you.
