[Tracker] REVIEW: 'data-provider-monitor-interface-1.8' branch

[Haithem BEN GHORBAL <haithem benghorbal gmail com>]

Hi all,

I'm sending this mail to continue the work done by Martyn Russell concerning the 'data-provider-monitor-interface' branch.

A first review was done via this Mailing List in January 2015 (see [Tracker] REVIEW: 'data-provider-monitor-interface' branch).

Currently, TrackerMonitor is the one providing updates when some files are created/updated/deleted by using inotify, and it's working well for local files.

But this solution does not allow to provide updates on files which would be stored on a DLNA device for example.

With this new feature, it will be up to the data-provider implementation to notify when data has been updated.

This makes things a lot easier and generic as I would just have to implement a 3rd party TrackerDlnaDataProvider data-provider to make indexation works.

As I have no write permission on the official gnome repo, I forked the one on github :
data-provider-monitor-interface-1.8 branch

I just created this new branch starting from the previous one 'data-provider-monitor-interface' and I rebased it on master. I fixed the compilation and added some minor enhancements.

Thanks for reviewing this.

Regards,

Haithem
