[Nautilus-list] Re: Patch : Mandrake customization in Nautilus

[Dan Mueth <dan eazel com>]

Hi Frederic,

Thanks for pointing out this problem.

Another fix is:

1) Make sure you are using ScrollKeeper >= 0.2 which fixed a
bug where if a database did not exist in the specified path it was not
created.

2) Pass scrollkeeper-update the database path so that when users are
trying to build an RPM, a new (test) database is built under the
RPMBUILDROOT.  (patch below)

Note that the reason we build the test database under the build root is
as a sanity check.  If the docs or metadata are broken in some way, the
packager will see the warnings or errors during the RPM build.  Otherwise
problems could slip through and wouldn't be found until install time.  It
also makes it easy to debug any problems by inspecting or using the test
database without modifying the real system database or having root access.

Dan
