Distros do ship what they want but there is a predictable pattern to their desires. :) What about maemo? N900 will continue to ship with 0.6 and if i want my app to work on N900, i'll need to keep on dealing with 0.6 for quite some time in future. Correct me if i am wrong but 0.7 release happened fairly recently, no? Its been quite some time that I've been dealing with crappy 0.6 APIs so as an application developer I (and others) would need some time to evaluate 0.7 APIs if they really are as perfect as you claim or not. Working with 0.6 I've known nothing but pain (leaving aside all the political pressure I've been facing for making my app so dependent on Tracker) so please understand that I need some time to be sure that 0.7 is completely different in that regard. Until then, I am skeptical about Tracker to become integral part of GNOME. Also I share the concern of Lennart about inotify limitation and from my talks with Tracker developers so far, it seems they underestimate the importance of fixing this limitation wrt Tracker. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 P.S. These mails are written as a GNOME/Maemo developer rather than a Nokia employee since I am not really officially involved in Fremantle/N900 anymore. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
