okay, I'll bite. +++ I have strong objections to the inclusion of tracker into GNOME 2.18. Actually, I have one strong objection, that is: what's proposed for inclusion and where? If it's tracker-search-tool (the UI), I'd say that for what tracker *does* right now, there's no difference between tracker and gnome-search-tool in gnome-utils. If what's proposed for inclusion is tracker-the-indexer, then until we have a use for the indexer in more than one application, I'd wait for its inclusion; same goes for tracker-the-database. I'd also like to see a tracker-library to access the data without having to implement the D-Bus calls into each and every application. I'd also like for tracker to become less of a moving target: in the past six months tracker changed the database backend twice (at least), API, UI; and it still indexes just plain text files, images and audio files, with all the interesting stuff (emails, contacts, im conversations, bookmarks, etc.) marked as TODO. Above all, anyway, I'd like to be able to *not* use "tracker" as a catch all for indexer, database, search UI and API. so, in short, I'd wait *at least* until the next development cycle to even think of using tracker. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.net B: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
