Tracker is also extremely fast and super efficient with your systems memory when
compared with some other competing frameworks and is by far the fastest and most
memory efficient Nautilus search and Deskbar backends currently availble.

It consists of a common object database that allows entities to have an almost
infinte number of properties, metadata (both embedded/harvested as well as user
definable), a comprehensive database of keywords/tags and links to other entities.

It provides additional features for file based objects including context linking
and audit trails for a file object.

It has the ability to index, store, harvest metadata. retrieve and search all 
types of files and other first class objects.

Where did you get tracker 0.5.0 from? Upstream has only 0.0.4, and the URL
listed in the spec file does not work.

Uh, nevermind, I typed in 0.0.5 by mistake. Jamie really should update the

I had started to review it, but if you want to do it, here's what I found out so
far:

Needs work:
* Missing SMP flags. If it doesn't build with it, please add a comment
  (wiki: PackagingGuidelines#parallelmake)
* Build failed in mock. Missing BR: pango-devel, dbus-devel, dbus-glib
* Missing BR for metadata extractors : libgnomeui-devel, gnome-vfs2-devel,
gnome-desktop-devel, poppler, libvorbis-devel, libpng-devel, libexif-devel,
libgsf-devel

Possible improvements :
* Have trackerd start on login with a desktop file in
/usr/share/gnome/autostart/ (GNOME) and in /usr/share/autostart/ (KDE)
Is there a freedesktop spec for this by the way ?

Diff to tracker.spec

Weird, the package I downloaded has libexif-devel, libgsf-devel etc. as
BuildRequires. pango-devel is not required as it's pulled in by
gnome-desktop-devel.

Missing BuildRequires:
dbus-devel dbus-glib-devel gnome-utils-devel libpng-devel openssl-devel

Description has some misspelled words, and summary should not end in '.'; also,
since libraries are included you need to call ldconfig on %post and %postun

Do we want to split the libraries into separate packages?

Actually, Aurelien, you can take over the review if you want. I'm less familiar
with autostarting.

Really me culpa. After I initially uploaded the src.rpm, I realized I had not
tested it in mock, so I quickly updated the files (without bumping the version)
thinking no one is reviewing yet.
Updated files are here;

Most of these are already pulled in by other dependencies. But why is
gnome-utils-devel and openssl-devel needed, I can't find anything in the
configure log that that suggest they are

Gone thru and corrected a bunch (I had copied it directly from the README).

I've also commented the build fails with the smp flags.
I'll work on the autostarting stuff tomorrow.

Thanks for reviewing.

I found them by calling ./configure --help and looking at the options that can
be specified. It's probably not accurate, since it missed certain things that
configure actually checks for. Will look at it again tomorrow.

According to
http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html the
directory for autostarting applications is /etc/xdg/autostart. You have to put a
desktop file in it.

On my computer, tracker starts up and indexes stuff. When I search using
tracker-search, it gives some results, but sometimes it gives no results when
I'm searching for something I know I have. Any idea why ?

OK, I found this mail :

explains my bug. FC-5 sqlite is not compiled with --enable-threadsafe, while
FC-6 sqlite is.

There is no gnome-utils-devel on FC5, could you replace its requirement with
something like :
%if "%fedora" >= "6"
BuildRequires: gnome-utils-devel
%else
BuildRequires: dbus-devel, dbus-glib
%endif

On the other hand, I'm not sure gnome-utils is of any use for building tracker.
It only seem to appears in src/tracker-search-tool/tracker-search-tool.c

That's a mistake actually, I didn't intend to have BR on gnome-utils-devel and
openssl-devel as I don't think they are needed. Corrected with these,

I added the gnome-utils-devel and openssl-devel BRs, since for some reason they
appeared as options in the configure script. Deji, could you clarify this with
upstream? If they don't actually do anything they should be trimmed out of the
configure script.

Needs work:
* Make sure the lines in the %description field are not more than 76 chars long
* Applications/System Tool is not a standard group
* Remove the dot at the end of the summary for the -devel subpackage
* As tracker-devel ships a pkgconfig file (.pc), is should have "Requires:
pkgconfig"

No quick response yet from upstream on Michel concern about gnome-utils-devel

Applications/System for the RPM group as I think that's the closest.

Upstream have responded, and that with a new release. GNOME_UTILS that appears
in the configure script is actually meant to be GNOME utilities (specifically
libgnomeui and gtk+) as opposed to the package gnome-utils. Also they've
statically linked in a threadsafe sqlite which builds by default, but also
provided  a configure option --enable-external-sqlite. This option is used for
FC >=6. New spec and src rpms uploaded.

Thanks for the reviews. Now that the mikmod issue had been resolved (presently
only on rawhide), I'll go ahead and import it into Extras and make the
correction of not using tabs there.
