It’s okay. I got PM from Mario clarifying things.

I am maintaining KMyMoney on MacPorts and because of it I of course also try to 
keep KDE afloat on OSX/MacPorts. I am NOT the main KDE maintainer there, but I 
know that many OSX users do not need another indexing service due to the 
existence of Spotlight (which is Apple’s baloo).
I personally mostly don’t need any indexer, except that I am forced by my email 
program Mail.app to enable Spotlight for detailed searching features in emails.

No, because I am not yet able to build anything else than the 4.12.4 (which my 
machine could successfully finish only just now) I cannot test the 4.13.

OK, but with the problems Frank already described...

:) You are right, I meant kdelibs there. But thanks to Frank I already 
understood that kdelibs itself doesn’t need baloo after all.

So, ok, as I wrote in my reply to Frank: I should preferably simply use 
Vishesh’s suggestion and modify baloo’s configuration file.
