Re: [Tracker] fresh install

[Björn Johansson <bjorn_johansson bio uminho pt>]

I am only a user, but I would like to have a version that makes sense to use.

There was a very old version in ubuntu for a long time that was a bit unstable.

Hi,

Hi Björn,

I haven't been using tracker since 2013 and I have since completely
reinstalled Ubuntu.

I wonder what the best way to install a relatively new version of
tracker is? I remember it as a bit of a challenge.
Is there a complete list of dependencies or a package script?
I suppose the tracker in ubuntu is old?

Which version do you want? The latest development, or stable, or unstable?

I suppose you could use something like:

  apt-get install tracker-*

I use JHBuild for building Tracker versions, which might be a bit of work to get going.

Ubuntu 14.10 has version 1.0.6-0ubuntu1. There is a 1.2.x release out already of course.

It depends on what you're doing with it. Development or purely as a user?
