Bug Description

Binary package hint: tracker

According to the release notes, among the new features are:

• Indexing at ludicrous speed - massively optimised indexing so its now 10× faster than previous version. Indexing speeds are now around 100 text files per second (which is about the maximum possible considering the I/O time to read 100 files from a hard drive).

• Index while you work – now scheduled even better so it should never slow the system down whilst allowing users to work without being affected by or even noticing it.

The upstream package also contains a plugin for deskbar-applet.

• Fixed lintian warnings.
• Fixed libdeskbar-tracker Architecture: all (d'oh).
• Mention the deskbar plugin in debian/copyright.

The copyright info in the plugin is somewhat vague. It doesn't contain a year and doesn't specify the GPL version. The author should probably be contacted.

Emilio,

could we coordinate the upload somehow? I'm going to upload 0.5.4-1 to Debian unstable with the patch that Johan created (well, after changing the upload target from feisty to unstable of course) anyway. Could you grab the Debian package instead of uploading a -0ubuntu1 version?
I think we should avoid to have a -1 and -0ubuntu1 version, which are basically identical.

Of course.

Update the package to debian, and I will upload it to ubuntu from yours, and with your changes ;)

If you are on irc, I'm pochu @ Freenode, we can coordinate better there :)

Regards
Emilio
