Hi Michele,

Thank you for the patch. Unfortunately, the first part changes the link 
for "git" to "the latest unstable release of Tracker using" - that to me 
would make me think that was the link to press to get the latest 
unstable release of Tracker. However, it is the link for GIT. So that 
part of the patch won't be applied unfortunately.

The second part of the patch adds help about how to build the tarballs. 
It is not normal to include this information. If you don't know *how* to 
use a tarball, you should not be using it IMO. It raises more questions, 
like what is this autogen.sh? what are these automake and autoconf, etc, 
etc. If you look at gtk.org or a lot of other sites, they don't explain 
this. So I don't think I will apply this part of the patch either I'm 
afraid. I should add, that your directions are controversial at best. It 
is not recommended to install use the prefix /usr.

Thanks again for the patch.
