[needs-packaging] nautilus-search-tool

Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have
the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a
specification for this.

You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs
page (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs) in Launchpad. If
that is the case, feel free to contact the drafter of that spec about
your comments/suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec
following the steps described in
        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications.

I've packaged it for jaunty, http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/pandora/temp/jaunty/nautilus-search-tool/
Debian source is included. It would be nice if nautilus-search-tool could be included in the repos in time for karmic.

Another way would be to package two "nautilus scripts" written in bash/python that called gnome-search-tool (one for both hidden and visible files, and one for visible files only).

For what it's worth, here are the dependencies if you want to comile yourself:

libdbus-1-dev
libpopt-dev
libidl-dev
liborbit2-dev
libgconf2-dev
orbit2
libnautilus-extension-dev
libeel2-dev
libgail-dev
libgnome-desktop-dev
libstartup-notification0-dev
libxml2-dev
libgnome-vfsmm-2.6-dev
libavahi-client-dev
libavahi-glib-dev
libglibmm-2.4-dev
libgnome-vfsmm-2.6-dev
libgnomevfs2-dev
libselinux1-dev
libsepol1-dev
libsigc++-2.0-dev

perhaps we could look at this, Tim has requested it for Mint

I packaged it for karmic. You can get it from my ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~viks77/+archive/ppa

This is my first package in launchpad. I packaged it for self education purposes.

I don't know what to do next to get it into Ubuntu repositories.

This package does not appear to be present in the repositories for Ubuntu 11.10. Can you clarify why the status for Ubuntu was changed to "Fix Released"?
