This is the list of packages updated as part of CSSU, tracker isn't one of them

You might want to use my patched Tracker, because the realignore.patch that I made tries to fix that weird behavior

Just out of curiosity, so is it like not possible to use the latest tracker version directly over the PR1.3 or the reasons something else (compatibility, breaking, etc)?

If it is possible to update to the latest, then may be we can request CSSU team to include the latest tracker version in their future updates.

AFAIK there are big API changes between tracker
0.6 and the recent version.
The whole 0.6 API is deprecated. The query language
used in the 0.6 was RDF and the 0.10 uses
sparql. So the chances that upgrading to a new
tracker version don't break anytihng and
or makes the performance better is very small.

Thanks for that.

It sort of works like i want it to now with the changes but it's good to know that it really does behave in an unexpected way by default. Is your patched version going to end up in CSSU?

That is my plan. Well, that, or get the latest Harmattan 0.6.x series, which fixed two of the bugs that have been workaround on my patched version.

Unfortunately I am yet to get a proper schedule allocation to start contributing full time to the CSSU though, so if you think my patches are stable enough and want to push them to the CSSU, feel free

I had problems with the tracker hogging the CPU, so I used tracker-cfg to disable everything I could see. I'm assuming this has disabled the tracker entirely, as I no longer get insane CPU activity after poweron or filesystem operations.
Question: is there anything inherently bad in doing this? I don't care about thumbnails and I'm not using the stock mediaplayer (Someplayer has its own indexing system, I think).

Bump. I wanted to ask the same question as Fallingwater - except I would go even further and uninstall tracker altogether. Can anyone foresee any harm in doing either?

Did tracker.cfg actually get updated?
Was this "patched" version stable enough to put it CSSU?
I know there was a mention of tracker doing odd things recently.

Currently can't get may device to watch the memory card properly.
It updated this morning after I added new music but just ripped another CD and it's not added the new tracks.

I'll try and force it to rebuild later.
