You can see the thread here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/tracker-list/2009-August/msg00007.html The response was positive. So I would like to propose Tracker as a new GNOME module. Right now Tracker 0.7 is currently in development and we are hoping to get the 0.7. unstable release out the door in the coming month or so. Right now we are considering making the miners (the file system crawling at this point) optional so it acts purely as a store if needed by ISVs. This is not yet done in master but can be if that's a GNOME requirement. Dependencies include: libxml >= 0.6 libpng >= 1.2 libuuid zlib dbus >= 0.60 sqlite3 >= 3.5 (built with --enable-load-extension) hal >= 0.5 vala >= 0.7.3 pango >= 1.0.0 Beyond that, the rest of the requirements affect your extraction ability. For example, if poppler-glib is on the platform, you can then extract PDF files. This also depends on if streamanalyser is used or not (which does all extraction for us and negates the needs for specific libraries in Tracker). Dependencies about to be dropped but still needed: gmime lex yacc libraptor The git repository is here: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/tracker/ We import the following libraries: libinotify rasqal Licensing wise, those libinotify and rasqal both share the LGPL, as does libtracker. The rest is GPLv2 or later. /discuss ;)Well. Currently there are two projects which, at least for the first sight, are similar - Tracker and Beagle. So the first question is why should Gnome include Tracker and not Beagle?I might be wrong and things might have changed, but isn't beagle unmaintained?
Last time I checked it had commit 36 h ago although it has no big changes in git. Anyway it seems much more stable for me (i.e. does not block my desktop). Regards
