gcc,

thanks but for your info, none of the issues which are currently
affecting tracker could be replicated by myself, those testing tracker
on our ML nor the ubuntu devs who put it through its paces and would
have pulled it if it had serious problems.

so 0.6.3 was tested and approved for gutsy final by ubuntu and I had no
info that it caused any of the problems you describe at the time.  I
honestly felt tracker would deliver the goods for everyone and I would
not recklessly release something that would have knowingly caused
disastrous results.

Alas, as I stated before, there are corner cases in all software which
might cause problems but these can only be discovered by having it
installed on thousands of machines and being in routine use. So its a
chicken and egg situation.

rest assured, we are working very hard to fix these issues and even if
you dont want desktop search tracker will still be useful for its
metadata capability in hardy heron. Tracker will also be a good
replacement for updatedb and locate and you can configure it to for
example not index the contents of files to make it more lightweight

jamie
