beagle ftbfs

I have just been informed of this issue, I am in the process of testing a patch which fixes, will post debdiff later tonight or tomorrow.

Ok, the attached branch will build a sane deb using bzr builddeb -w --split

Seb can you sponsor this fix?

The branch is names "feisty-update", do you recommend using it on gutsy? The package has been slightly modified since, could you update your branch and make the changelog mention your fixes or attach a simple debdiff to fix the bug?

Ok, i've attached the new gutsy branch, it contains all the needed fixes to build, as well as the newest beagle bugfix release (0.2.18).

I understand we are in an upstream freeze, however the changes in this are all bugfixes, no feature additions. In addition, the gutsy branch has significant cleanups to the debian directory, mostly in preparation for the new Beagle 0.3 release which marks a plethora of new features. (and as a result, new sub-packages).

Attached is the debdiff. A list of known upstream changes:

NOTABLE CHANGES BETWEEN 0.2.17 AND 0.2.18
-----------------------------------------

* Build and run against evolution-sharp 0.13.3.

* No longer recrawl directories if we can't set up an inotify watch.
 This fixes the looping bug of death when the screensaver kicks in.

* Greatly improve indexing overhead with the beagle-build-index tool.

* Display a warning in the log if the number of inotify watches runs
 out.

* Fix a problem in which beagle-search wouldn't work after a daemon
 restart. [bgo #463803]

* Fix a bug in which processing large numbers of maildir files could
 cause beagled to run out of file descriptors. [bgo #466891]

* Add support for the ~/.liferea_1.2 directory to the Liferea
 backend. [bgo #426573]

* Add support for PDF keywords, and allow colons in PDF metadata.
 [bgo #463003]

* Ignore legal.xml files in the Docbook filter, since they're largely
 content-less and frequently duplicated.

* Fix the SQL used to retrieve tag information from the Digikam DB.
 [bgo #454656]

* Improve error reporting throughout.

A list of debian modifications can be found in debian/changelog, or the branch commit log.

One last thing, to help with the testing process, I have uploaded this to my PPA.

Since pbuilder worked fine, I would assume that this will go well, however, I make no promises, there may not be a successful binary.

Thank you for the work on that. Looks like there is quite some changes to the debian directory, could you document them in the changelog? You also dropped the "Added beagle as a dependency for mozilla-beagle (LP: #89525)" change

Sorry, looks like it got lost in the shuffle. I'll merge that change in, and flesh out the changelog tonight.

Ok, changes checked in, I merged the changes from that publish I missed, and updated the changelog to be more verbose.

Let me know if theres anything else I can do to help.

Moving milestone to beta.

the new version has been uploaded to gutsy
