I dont think the two situations can be compared at all.
The comparison is valid because we're doing the same with tracker as we did with bonobo: Searching for places we can put Tracker before we know what we want or need: "We want desktop search" is a rather general statement that says nothing about requirements. I'm not saying that desktop search is a bad thing and that no-one wants it. I'm just saying "How do we know Tracker is the correct solution?" I think I'm going round in circles here, so I'll stop. On another point entirely, why was tracker support not added to gnome-search-tool? Why was there a need for it to be forked into tracker-search-tool? With a patch to g-s-t you wouldnt need to be in a place where this unknown program was replacing a well used, and well-tested one. iain _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
