Re: [Tracker] Support in Tracker for ultra-new Evolution installs that use SQLite for the summary format

["Ivan Frade" <ivan frade gmail com>]

hi philip,

 short comment (the tablet is not the best device to review patches):
can we call this module "evolution224" and keep also the old module?
we could choose between one or other with a flag in compilation time
(the distributions will choose the correct for them)

 regards,

Ivan
