First Steps with Tracker

11 02 2010
As I‘ve been happily trying out the OpenSuse Build Service, and I wanted to have a presentation about it at the Lanedo apres-conference, I decided to package a recent version of tracker.

I managed to package it within an hour and then decided to need a use-case for these new packages. I picked GNOME Launch Box and after some hacking, I managed to properly replace the application search module by a tracker based module. It was pretty straight-forward to develop that module (after getting a bit into SparQL).

I even ended up doing some more cleanups and finally dropped libgnomeui and libgnomevfs.

I'm really looking forward to replace even more backends with tracker-based ones.

Philip Van HoofAwesome! Welcome to the SPARQL family. It works like how the Linden guys do it at Linden labs. So now you can put SPARQL in your name. For example Sven Sparql Herzberg. ;-)
