I've hacked together a handler for Tracker. At the moment
it doesn't
utilize the entire feature set of tracker at all, but hey -
it works!
What it does; search thorugh your files via trackerd,
communicating via
dbus.
If you don't know what tracker is, read Jamie McCrackens
blog:
http://www.a
dvogato.org/person/jamiemcc/
If you try and compile tracker yourself (it is not packaged
anywhere I
think) read on...
1) Be sure to use mysqlclient based on mysql 4.1.*. The
default in
Dapper repos is 5.0 based!
2) libextractor might not build (gives you wierd errors),
you can
install a version from the Dapper repos if you use Ubuntu.
Then just
"make install" anyways. trackerd will be
installed and working...
3) Be aware that Jamie might commit some changes to tracker
soon that
will obsolete the mysql 4.1.* requirement and only use
5.0...
Cheers
Mikkel
PS: the tracker handler requires the latest deskbar cvs to
work
properly.
