Well, as a maintainer of a different "not yet fully baked" technology piece, I think it'd be reasonable to get patches in some applications as optional dependencies. As long as you can explain to the application authors why it's valuable and why they should maintain the code in the future. Since you're a DBus service just saying "if (org.freedesktop.Tracker isn't on the bus); return" isn't that hard. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
