Summary

Shotwell is an easy-to-use, fast photo organizer designed for the GNOME

desktop. It allows you to import photos from your camera or disk, organize

them by date and subject matter, even ratings. It also offers basic photo

editing, like crop, red-eye correction, color adjustments, and straighten.

Shotwell's non-destructive photo editor does not alter your master photos,

making it easy to experiment and correct errors.

This update fixes a [bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268) in

the Meson build system which caused binaries and libraries to incorrectly be

marking as requiring an executable stack. This makes them more vulnerable to

security issues, and also can result in errors caused by SELinux denials. This

update also provides rebuilds of all the packages that were built with the buggy

Meson, excepting packages for updates were already pending (in those cases,

those updates have been edited instead). This includes gnome-initial-setup,

which was affected by this problem, resulting in a [release-blocking

bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1699099) that prevented it

running correctly with SELinux in enforcing mode.

[ 1 ] Bug #1699099 - gnome-initial-setup 3.32.0+ crashes due to SELinux denials (because it has execstack flag set, because meson 0.50.0 sets it when it shouldn't)
