Hi all, For those who are not following the planet-beagle blog, Pierre has finished the Thunderbird backend (one of the 2007 Google Summer of Code projects). It can index Thunderbird emails and rss feeds. It was a complete rewrite and totally different from the earlier thunderbird backend which h

I just figured out how work around the need for external libraries/tools needed to build the extension this morning. So, from revision 3843 there's no need to install any extra development packages as they are no longer needed. Just wanted to fill you guys in on this :-) The changes made could pos
