Thanks! Glad to know it's useful to you.

Hmm, I expect that to happen if applications are still linking to the
libtracker-sparql.so as provided by packages. Both the running
tracker-store process and the clients would need to use the same
libtracker-sparql as you compiled it.

AFAICT, the fixes in that branch will just work when those are
installed system-wide through packages.

Yeah... the fedora folks were too eager to include sqlite 3.11 in
updates repos. Besides having been inconvenient to Tracker, the fix is
worthwhile otherwise.

I've just rolled new 1.4/1.6 releases that include an embedded copy of
sqlite, that will fix the issue in f23/22 (hopefully soon enough!).
The wip/fts5 branch has only been merged to master, and is already
released in 1.7.4, so this approach is reserved for f24/rawhide.

Cheers,
