Hi David i will close this bug as a duplicate as the same problem has been commented on and a fix given by the build error bug report. please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=564997 I will add the fix ASAP. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 564997 *** @ Gareth, This bug has nothing to do with FTBFS. @ David, Sorry for the inconvenience, but compat-tracker have been made explicitely conflicting with tracker, the reason was that having two indexers will bring most machines to their knees. Conflict doesn't seem to be the best approach. Reassiging the bug to Deji. Gareth and Hicham, Okay, thanks for looking into this and explaining it. Cheers. Hicham, thanks for filling me in i knew there were some problems with API's changing. I havent been able to look at it much, even if i had i couldnt produce a fix in code. Either way upstream will not fix this at all I am guessing if no one will fix it then it's end of life having not had this situation before im not sure? On that note can i not just add it as a conflict in spec? I guess the decision was made somewhere for the compat package? Hi Gareth, If I were you, I would have dropped paperbox. Because : - Upstream is dead ( as they had informed Deji ) - Deji created compat-tracker just to maintain ABI compatibility for paperbox, which caused a lot of debate, and finally he settled down for creating this intentional conflict, which created problems for users. (In reply to comment #6) > On that note can i not just add it as a conflict in spec? I guess the decision > was made somewhere for the compat package? Yes, the conflict is in compat-tracker. But as you can see, this is creating problems for users. @ Gareth, For more insight, see : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572233 (In reply to comment #3) > @ Gareth, > > This bug has nothing to do with FTBFS. > > @ David, > > Sorry for the inconvenience, but compat-tracker have been made explicitely > conflicting with tracker, the reason was that having two indexers will bring > most machines to their knees. Conflict doesn't seem to be the best approach. > Reassiging the bug to Deji. You really can't have it both ways with paperbox and tracker-0.8.3, they just don't work together (I've tried it). I can make compat-tracker parallel-installable with tracker-0.8.x in way that makes paperbox work, but that will cause (the buggy) tracker-0.6.x daemon to kick-in and corrupt the database for tracker-0.8.x. Paperbox will then work, but none of tracker-0.8.x functionality will work properly (for instance you won't be able to use the search-tool and nautilus-tracker integration will also have problem). In summary, if you want to use paperbox, you will have to stick with tracker-0.6.x (compat-tracker) only. IMO, you don't really need paperbox if you have tracker-0.8.x; the search/document detection can be done with tracker-search-tool and the tagging function is now nicely integrated with nautilus. I have also tested making compat-tracker parallel installable with tracker in such a way that tracker-0.8.x continues to function normally (exclude tracker daemon and tracker-indexer from the compat-package), but that would only make paperbox installable but totally useless. I'm sorry I have to close this bug as 'cant-fix'. If you have an idea that would work, please state and you can re-open the bug. I will read up on end of life later and drop paperbox. If tracker 0.8 gives the same functionality also and as i know upstream wont fix. |
