Re: Office File Status?

[Stephen O'Grady <sogrady redmonk com>]

quick question on status of Office file indexing in Beagle:

i see from the Wiki (http://www.beaglewiki.org/index.php/Optional%
20Packages#GsfSharp) that Office files are now supported, but i'm a bit
unclear on whether OpenOffice files are supported natively by Beagle,
are included in the above filter, or still need work. 

the reason i ask is that mine appear to be unindexed, as they are not
returning in my search results. i do not have the MS Office filter
installed, as the hard dependency on libgsf 1.11 is one Gentoo can't
meet yet, but was wondering if that was what was required. 

might it make sense to have a page on the Wiki that gives current status
vis a vis indexability for Beagle/Dashboard? or is it there and i've
simply missed it? PDF, i believe, is still absent. 

any info appreciated.
