Let's keep these, they might be used elsewhere. > * the --enable-maemo config flag > * the create-tests-xml.py and create-tests-aegis.py scripts in > tests/functional-tests > * some Maemo-specific functional tests > * some special casing in the applications miner > * the Maemo userguides miner But I'll be delighted to see all this go :). it's worth pointing out that --enable-maemo seems just used in order to install the 91-maemo ontology, but the miner-apps stuff is under a HAVE_MEEGOTOUCH, so it is possible to have a miner-apps using an ontology that is not installed. This, and code that we can't possibly test (eg. the stuff under HAVE_MEEGOTOUCH defines) makes us look bad IMO :(. > > The Maemo-specific bits of the functional tests are getting in my way > quite a bit, I don't have any way of testing out that the > scratchbox-based code paths actually work so I don't think we should > be carrying them upstream. > > The ontologies and the user-guides miner don't cause me many issues, > but it might make sense to remove these as well since we're not using > them in the core of Tracker at all. > > The last release of Maemo or Meego appears to be 5 years ago and I > don't know that more are planned. > > Mer / Sailfish OS still uses Tracker and have a fork at > <https://git.merproject.org/mer-core/tracker/>.

I think most stuff can be just implemented using tracker libraries and maintained standalone, no need to patch tracker. > > Is anyone else using these ontologies and code paths that I wasn't aware of? Did we get enough silence already? :p Cheers, Carlos _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
