Installing using packages
Refer to the download to see how to download the tracker-packages for your favourite distribution. Here we display only how the tracker packages are organized.
-
- Every distribution has its own way to pack tracker, however you can recognise two main part:
-
- - tracker -- Usually this one has no dependencies related to a Desktop Enviroment and is the "desktop agnostic part". This basicly means you can install on KDE/XFCE/Fluxbox/* without installing any GNOME-related dependecies.
- - tracker-search-tool -- the Graphical User Interface to search using tracker. This has GNOME-dependencies
-
- We want to keep the indexer free from any specific dependences related to a particular Desktop Enviroment.

26th January 2007 - Tracker 0.5.4 "Speed Daemon" released!
-
A lot of BUGS Fixes and New Features:
-
- -
- Indexing at ludicrous speed - massively optimised indexing so its now 10x faster than previous version. Indexing speeds are now around 100 ext files per second (which is about the maximum possible considering the I/O time to read 100 files from a hard drive).
-
- -
- Index while you work - now scheduled even better so it should never slow the system down whilst allowing users to work without being affected by or even noticing it.
-
- -
- Better schedule - Tracker will not hammer your system nor consume unreasonable amounts of memory and is virtually unobtrusive in daily use.
-
- -
- Laptop friendly - Also provides additional --throttle command line parameter to customise throttling even further so no need to endure noisy fans or hot laptops while indexing.
-
- -
- Better Log - New verbosity param to control how much data is shown on screen and in log
-
- -
- Mplayer backend added - Fixed mplayer backend which is now used if gstreamer backend returns no metadata
-
- -
- No more zombies! - Improved reaping of all spawned apps
-
- -
- Better detection - Improved mime and text file detection
-
- -
- Better deskbar-handler - Added improved deskbar-handler
-
- -
- FUSE Support improved - Got tracker to run nicely on FUSE based filesystems
-
