Tracker 0.7 wanted

piccolotux · 2009-09-27 20:49:59

Nobody seems to see that the new tracker search engine is online (ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/tracker/0.7/ . After months of development this is a must have for everybody...Now I've already invited the arch developer to update the package but I received no answers. So...If someone want to stay a step ahead...it's welcome.

in my opinion "inviting" a arch developer to update a package is not constructive at all. the package is mark out of date and he gets the notification, the same way you did.
a better email would be one that has attached a up to date PKGBUILD.

those are my 2cents

Well...I have to admit that "invite" is not the most proper term. I've simply put the package out of date. That's all. In case somebody wants to create a pkgbuild to build and use the new tracker search engine I'd be grateful. Stop. Cheers

Try to take the PKBUILD using abs and change the $pkgver and the md5sum. Often there is not more than that to do.

Thanx for your advices but it's not that simple. Tracker has changed many internal architectures....

Hi, I've taken the PKGBUILD from community and changed very little, like some dependency and the link to new version... it's NOT perfect, for example it complains that some configure options are not understood but for what I can tell it works.

PKGBUILD updated below

Bye

to see the configure options just run ./configure --help and get rid of those that are deprecated and maybe add more:D

yeah, you're right, here it is

There are a couple things: with the 0.7 tracker you'll break the current nautilus (recompiling 2.6.23 nor .24 worked) due to a dependency, that you can currently solve by installing just libtracker-0.6.95 along with tracker 0.7, integration won't work anyway but nautilus won't crash, patch have already been send upstream from tracker team so maybe next nautilus release will be fine with this.

It was known : http://mail.gnome.org/archives/tracker- … 00029.html
but even if they say

2. 0.6 and 0.7 _CAN_ co-exist at the same time, that's how it has been designed.

I wasn't able to, maybe just some file overlapping that if tomorrow my slackness permits I'll give a look at.
Bye
