Re: [Vala] Genie maintenance

[Jamie McCracken <jamie mccrack googlemail com>]

I plan to work on it over easter and bring it up to date - afraid time
is of the premium for me atm but hopefully things will improve

sorry for delays here and your frustration but i do plan to use genie to
rewrite the tracker-search-tool so it will be maintained as its used
more and more. Right now it needs a test suite like the vala one so that
breakages can be trapped prior to a new release of vala.

I certainly dont want to impose on juerg or anyone else to maintain it
