Bug Description

Binary package hint: libdeskbar-tracker

It seems libdeskbar-tracker is non-functional in latest gutsy (all upgrades installed, etc).

From some googling I've done it seems deskbar got rewritten/upgraded, and the tracker applet has not at this point.

Also, the tracker extension is now being installed in the wrong directory by the looks of it.

---

/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/tracker-handler.pyc
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/tracker-handler.py

w00t@emerald:~$ /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet
Data Dir: /usr/share/deskbar-applet
Handlers Dir: ['/home/w00t/.gnome2/deskbar-applet/modules', '/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules']

Hope I've done the right thing, I've not submitted a report before. Please correct me if I've made a mistake.

Indeed deskbar-applet plugins in 2.19+ have broken abi so old handlers no longer work

we have a new handler developed and will be available in next release in time for tribe 5

Maybe status should be changed to "in progress"?

tracker (0.6.2-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    - New Sqlite based indexer which utlises the new incremental blob I/O
      in sqlite 3.4
    - Highly optimised email indexing (up to 5x faster)
    - Dramatically reduced disk access and disk contention (LP: #131983,#135115)
    - Indexer now pauses for a grace period when non-tracker processes write
      to disk (providing changed files are being watched by tracker) -
      minimises slowdowns when compiling or checking out source code
    - Makes use of idle class disk IO scheduling if available
    - Makes preliminary use of NO_ATIME (some disk access still uses fopen)
    - Fixed restore of user metadata on re-index (keywords are auto-restored)
    - Added increased number of (junk) files to automatically ignore
    - Improved stopwords
    - New deskbar handler that uses the new deskbar api (2.19+)
    - Fixed old deskbar handler to remove race condition causing crashes
    - Fixed a number of annoying bugs in email indexing and tracker
      preferences (LP: #132921)
  * debian/libdeskbar-tracker.install:
    - updated
  * debian/rules:
    - use auto mode for the tracker configure option
