Re: [Tracker] ANNOUNCE: tracker 0.7.28 released

Hi all,

Currently the relation extractor <-> mime type is hardcoded _inside_ the extractor module code. It could be very convenient to have it in an external file (one per extractor, one for all extractors... not sure which one is the best option).

An example of why is it a problem right now: our gstreamer extractor works fine for "application/ogg" files, but it won't process them because the mimetype is not included in the code. If somebody wants to add that mimetype they are forced to a) recompile b) copy/paste a new extractor modifying the mimetype.

Please take this into consideration before the 0.8 release. 

Regards,

Ivan
