What's going on?Tracker is available on a number of other distros, personally I use it on Fedora where it's just been added to the Extras repo. There is also talk about using it by default for FC7, Jamie might be interested in partaking in that to avoid technical falacies being uttered.is that for technical reasons or is it something to do with redhat preferring non-novell apps in wake of MS pact? if its technical only then I will partake (let me know where - which mailing list) I dont want to encourage a boycott of novell's stuff as it will obviously look like im exploiting the issue for my own gain. I will GPL3 tracker though once that license is ready :)
Everything expressed here is my observations, I don't have any specific sway in the project nor am I a Red Hat employee. Tracker was proposed by the community as a replacement, there are several reasons naturally one being the recent Novell/Microsoft deal which can influence the legality of shipping Mono. So it's prudent to look at alternatives just to check out the options if we are told we have to lose Beagle. But Beagle is also a common source of bugreports, memory use, strange CPU load corner cases, etc. I have also heard mumblings in the past that Beagle was hard to vet for security. Regardless there is an active thread on Fedora-devel regarding this and your input might help in clearing a few things up. Mainly I ask to have as few roadblocks for Tracker users in Fedora. I would like to think we could and should support technology like Tracker, optionally or by default, especially since our current development cycle just opened it's a good time to play around with this kind of whizbang stuff. Regardless as of todays rawhide update Nautilus will detect Beagle and Tracker dynamically so at least we'll have direct support for Tracker. I'm hoping that will eventually make things easier for the users. - David
