Comment 3 Albert Zeyer 2008-04-04 23:46:02 UTC
Tried app-misc/tracker-0.6.6-r1, doesn't crash and seems to work fine.

So let this be a stable request for 0.6.6-r1? Or an unstable request for 0.6.3?
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-05 00:04:21 UTC
can we get a new stable release, seems like lots of users are hitting this, kthxbye.
Comment 5 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-05 00:05:02 UTC
(and for reference this is best known as bug #209364)
Comment 6 Albert Zeyer 2008-04-05 08:47:34 UTC
I encounterd other problems with 0.6.6-r1 whereby I am not sure if they are limited to this version. I didn't made any successfull search yet as the indexing itself is not working correctly or just takes so long because of this other problem. See bug #216295.
Comment 7 Albert Zeyer 2008-04-06 14:56:26 UTC
I think this app shouldn't be marked as stable yet.

A new crash for me: see bug #216482

Still, I didn't made to do any successfull indexing of my system yet, it just don't work. See also bug #216295

I think also 0.6.3 should be marked as unstable.
Comment 8 Dominik Kozaczko 2008-05-19 08:09:34 UTC
emerging with USE="applet -deskbar" results in unusable package - there is no way to search using graphical interface as tracker-search-tool is not installed. Indexing goes ok.

Not everyone wants the tracker-search-tool, people may wish to use it as a metadata indexer for their own application like totem does.

So what do I do to have the tracker-search-tool? Do I have to USE="deskbar"? It pulls tons of dependencies (that's why I switched it off). I found nothing informative in /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc

Besides I thought if "Search" is right there in the menu, it's a default feature. If not then remove it if search-tool is not installed, please - and add info to the ebuild (displayed after emerge) that the tracker is crippled because someONE doesn't need te Search feature.
Comment 11 Patrick Ohearn 2008-05-19 13:04:53 UTC
To get 'tracker-search-tool', build tracker with the 'gnome' use flag
Comment 12 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-02 22:17:40 UTC
we don't need to be CCed here since we are in fdo already.
Comment 13 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-10 23:21:38 UTC
Tracker 0.6 is gone, 0.7.10 has been added to the tree and live ebuild has been updated to git repository with 0.7 deps. Please give them a shot. I'll start adding back tracker support to apps as patches come in. Thanks for your patience.
