To be clear there *is* a patch review process. You file your patch in
bugzilla and the maintainer reviews it. There's no point in having to
"request" a review of something - if something is submitted to bugzilla
it needs to be reviewed.

So, all we can be talking about is whether there's some sort of
"exception" process when the maintainer isn't handling submitted patches
and can't be contacted or when contacted has no time to do reviews.

I'm mentioning read-only because I believe it would be possible to
implement with your current architecture. If you want read/write access,
it would probably involve file locking, and all sort of nastiness that I
understand might be problematic.

Reading the data through a native API instead of through D-Bus would
mean being able to shift very large amounts of data without the
marshalling/demarshalling (say, loading 100k audio tracks' metadata
would probably take a large amount of time over D-Bus, where it would be
of negligeable duration through a more direct API).

>  Surely applications would want ONE method not two for

This would all be hidden behind the tracker libraries for most
developers, so it shouldn't matter. You'd get the same result, just much
faster.

Let's just call these things ontologies.

That's just what everybody in RDF calls it. And those alternative
versions of the word like "the metadata keys", "the fields", "the
schema", "description of the things" ... are just confusing.

It's called an ontology. It wont hurt you. It wont rot your brain. It's
terminology that everybody in RDF uses. Let's get over it.

Ah I see your point now.

Even at this point there is no direct access API to Tracker, it is all 
done over d-bus. Performance wise, we don't have problems generally.


Perhaps this is a reason to seriously consider a direct access library.

I don't think it will happen before 0.8 however.

Try building that rygel branch i linked to and you'll see what the

That's almost already the case here. The tp-logger daemon is
automatically launched when first conversation is started. It's
currently not automatically stopped but I just talked to the tp-logger
developers and they will consider stopping it after some time of
inactivity.

   I couldn't agree more. So here is my plan: I will go with all
plugin[1]  external approach using the new D-Bus spec[2] . This will
mean SLOW (its already very slow with my queries that has lots of
optionals) tracker backend but I leave that for tracker guys to solve.
They can either do what you asked for above or they can implement this
D-Bus interface directly.

  Actually this issue is partly solved. I made sure that tracker guys
have the right ontology ..metadata keys for this. However,
there is  currently no UI for user to be able to mark media to be
exported.

Pretty much all of the per-user daemons are started on demand, and if
they don't kill themselves when not in use for a while then that is
generally a bug.

about the desktop as a whole.

I'm a bit worried about more and more deamons running in the desktop. We
are getting fat over and over. GNOME Journal needs a daemon, same for
tracker, now empathy. Even gwibber (which was supposed to be a simple
frontend to microbloggin services and now is getting really fat) needs
some daemons to run properly.

I know we have gains, but we also have cons, with the desktop full of
processes. Perhaps we should only activate the daemon when needed by
some application, and deactivate it when the application closes?

As an observation, here in Brazil we have lots of massive users in
'Telecentros' (social entities that offer computer access to poor
people) that don't have great machines. Actually they use old donated
machines, and running a desktop full of daemons on these machines can be
a pain.

Perhaps the fact that D-Bus wasn't meant as a "super fast"-IPC and the
fact that having to do two task switches + all the associated wire
overhead to retrieve a piece of data will be quite slow?

New external dependencies for 2.32: telepathy-logger

2010-03-19 Thread Guillaume Desmottes
Hi,

I'd like to make Empathy depends on the telepathy-logger [1] during the
2.31 cycle.

This module has 2 part:
- A daemon used to logs messages (but will gain support for logging more
events such as calls in the future).
- A library to allow client to easily access logs.

This approach has the following advantages:
- Ensuring that all the conversations are properly logged; even when
using another Telepathy client or if Empathy crashed.
- Allow other applications to retrieve logs; this will be used by
gnome-shell.
- More code shared between Telepathy clients.
- Better Telepathy integration.
- New fancy feature such as displaying the list of contacts to who user
recently talked for example.


Empathy has currently an optional dependency on tp-logger (used by
MeeGo). I plan to remove it to reduce #ifdef in code and be able to
properly implement Approvers [2] in Empathy.

Well, D-Bus provides a single entry point for any requests to the data. 
If we then provide some direct access using a library, that complicates 
things further. At this point we are not threaded, however, we are 
currently looking into the possibility of doing this due to recent events.

2 things come to mind:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613255
- The way you currently use Tracker means that there's no way to
differentiate between videos that I want indexed and searchable, and the
ones that I want to export. This is a privacy problem and could be
solved by making applications provide their catalogues instead (which
could be powered by Tracker).

In another branch of this thread, Vincent Untz gave you an answer:

And that makes me think the preferences UI was not all there was to
Rygel, other parts should be translatable as well.

  Since me and Bastien (based on Lennart's arguments on this thread)
agreed to kill the preferences UI in favor of some simple options to
be added to gnome-user-share dialog, do I still need to do this for my
proposal to be considered?

yep, the main reason for asking to bump from clutter-gtk 0.10.2 to
0.10.4 is because of the fixes that went into making clutter-gtk compile
against the version of gtk+ that's going to ship with Gnome 2.30. this
brings clutter-1.2 along because of the changes in dealing with input
device state which affect embedding a stage into another toolkit like
gtk+.

the proposed bumps for 2.30 are:

  clutter >= 1.2.0
  clutter-gtk >= 0.10.4

the artifacts might be due to the new sub-region update code, or if
aisleriot is reading back texture data from cogl; we have two fixes
already in the pipeline for that that will be backported to clutter-1.2
today.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
