posts flickr backup tool in Debian

Forked from hivelogic-flickrtouchr, which is forked from flickrtouchr, flickrbackup is a simple tool to perform a backup of your photos in flickr.

It's is in a very early development stage and code looks weird, but critical functionality is working :)

tiago@x61:~$ flickrbackup -h
Usage: flickrbackup [OPTIONS] -o OUTPUT_DIR

Backup your flickr photos.

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o OUTPUT_DIR, --output_dir=OUTPUT_DIR
                        set the local directory where you want to store your
                        pictures
  -e, --metadata-exif   store flickr metadata (title, description etc) as EXIF
                        tags in your local files [default: False]
  -x, --metadata-xml    store metadata as default flickr XML files [NOT
                        IMPLEMENTED]
  -u, --metadata-update
                        update flickr metadata to your local files. Use this
                        option with -x and/or -e [default: False]
  -g, --html-gallery    generate a local HTML gallery [NOT IMPLEMENTED]

Since this seems useful outside of Debian, I hope you add a web page for it, and crucially, put it in a VCS. Oh, I found the VCS, but the package is missing a Vcs-git field..

BTW, s/locals/local/ in the package description.

This website has been built using Ikiwiki and Vim in a Debian GNU/Linux system. This nice layout is based on deliberately copied from Tiago Faria's website. I hope he doesn't mind too much :)
