You jumped in and proposed tracker back then as the solution, and the conversation effectively stalled. How common will the music database be if the only application adopting it is Rhythmbox? Maybe that thread can be restarted from a clean slate on g-m-l, but I honestly would have no intention of using Tracker as a backend to Banshee's library given the state of discussion on this [proposal] thread. At this point there is a large amount of confused developers regarding what Tracker actually is/does/etc. There's a lot of "this is planned," "it could do this," etc. I'm not going to ask for specifics or clarification because I think there are too many points that need clarifying and that clarification has been requested many times before. It seems like the discussion keeps looping at this point, and there's no real coherent resolution on anything. Someone asks for a point to be clarified, and the same answers keep coming back, just twisted slightly from before. Just my 30 cents or so. --Aaron _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
