[Tracker] New branch for Xesam support in trackerd

[Philip Van Hoof <spam pvanhoof be>]

Hackers! Ping

A group of people, including myself, have started a branch called
"xesam-support" where we are doing an attempt at adding support for
Xesam in the trackerd service.

We branched from the indexer-split branch where all the cool new DBus
things are being done by people like frade, martyn and garnacho.

Interesting new files:

Types that represent a Xesam Session and a Xesam Search:
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support/src/trackerd/tracker-xesam-session.c
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support/src/trackerd/tracker-xesam-session.h
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support/src/trackerd/tracker-xesam-live-search.h
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support/src/trackerd/tracker-xesam-live-search.c

The glib-dbus DBus proxy type (sorry for the confusion between "Search"
and "LiveSearch" (above), we decided on this name because of consistency
with the existing TrackerDBusSearch for /org/freedesktop/Tracker/Search.
This one serves as object for /org/freedesktop/xesam/Search (which is
consistent in naming within the existing infrastructure of trackerd's
code)

http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support/src/trackerd/tracker-xesam-search.c
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support/src/trackerd/tracker-xesam-search.h

Some global API:
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support/src/trackerd/tracker-xesam.c
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support/src/trackerd/tracker-xesam.h


In the code, you'll notice that we aligned the Xesam specification
documentation for http://xesam.org/main/XesamSearchAPI to the types
TrackerXesamSearch 's and TrackerXesamSession 's gtk-doc comments. This
will make it more easy to get their implementations right and according
to spec.

There are "todo" markers and "not-sure" markers in the current code. 

SO ... if you feel a sudden urge to just go for it, and help us with the
effort of getting it done: you are absolutely more than welcome. Meet us
(otella, pvanhoof, martyn, garnacho, frade, konttori) on #tracker at
irc.gimpnet.org.

Just svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support or
svn co svn+ssh://svn.gnome.org/svn/tracker/branches/xesam-support 

... and start coding!
