Yes, but during the next system update, it shadows an updated
sytem-wide database.  Besides, I recently removed some bogus
entries, and removal is not possible by adding to your home
directory.  Moreover, fixed lens model names end up as double
entries.


By the way, lensfun 0.3.0 makes updating as easy as calling a
command line programm, and the current Git version even doesn't need
root priviledges for this.  Unfortunately, the distros are very
reluctant in packaging it.

Until then, http://wilson.bronger.org/db/version_0.tar.bz2 is
updated every night (at least).

Tschö,
Torsten.
