Hey, folks. So, in F16, totem has grown a dependency on tracker, via grilo-plugins. This means tracker is now present and active in default F16 installs, where it wasn't before. This is leading to the problems that have been endemic to desktop search mechanisms ever since the first one crawled out of the fiery pits of hell - excessive resource consumption, viz: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-September/102688.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-September/102770.html peter robinson reckons it would be easy to split out grilo-plugins' dependency on tracker and hence get tracker out of the default package set again, if that's desired: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-September/102730.html so, what's the plan here? is tracker's default inclusion a mistake which can be rectified as per pbrobinson's plan, or should we be trying to get tracker excessive-consumption bugs fixed? if it's going to be in there by default, it should probably have a less aggressive indexing policy by default. it installs with its aggressiveness set to max, a fairly expansive set of search paths (including removable media), and without the config tool which lets you tweak these things, as nothing has a dep on tracker-search-tool. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
