Hi all, For those who are not following the planet-beagle blog, Pierre has finished the Thunderbird backend (one of the 2007 Google Summer of Code projects). It can index Thunderbird emails and rss feeds. It was a complete rewrite and totally different from the earlier thunderbird backend which had to be disabled due to memory issues. I hear gossips that this one runs extremely smooth with no unusual memory issues. Of course, more testing with complicated setups and a large number of emails will verify the claim.
The code has been checked into the svn trunk. If you are willing to test, 'svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/beagle/trunk/beagle' and follow the build instructions from http://beagle-project.org/Installing_Beagle. The thunderbird backend consists of a traditional beagle backend and a Thunderbird-2.0.0.x extension. You will need the Thunderbird development files (usually called [mozilla-]thunderbird-dev in most distributions) to build the extension. If these files are present, the build system will automatically enable the backend. Read http://postlund.org/category/beagle/ for more details on the making of the backend and its internal details. Send comments/bug reports to the bugzilla/here. Thanks in advance for testing :) and thanks Pierre for the backend. - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com beagle / KDE fan Mandriva / Inspiron-1100 user _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
