Hi everyone, I'm stuck with the 0.6 branch until I decide to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 (which, I assume, uses 0.7...).

I know we definitely do this in 0.7.

We do maintain that (or did). What was the problem? I've ran into problems here and there, but I'll try to verify the problems by comparing what find-as-you type finds compared to the CLI tracker search. > Out of curiosity, have you thought about trying 0.7?

I would very much like to use the latest and greatest, but I appreciate the stability I get from not customizing my Ubuntu machines any more than absolutely necessary...so hopefully, Ubuntu 9.10 uses tracker 0.7 and I might upgrade in the near future, but until then, I'll have to make do with 0.6 until then. There are a couple of additional problems I'd like to mention: #5 Asking tracker to pause indexing (to free the CPU for other tasks) seems to not have any effect: trackerd still takes 99% of the CPU. #6 Trackerd prevents suspend to RAM (probably hibernation, as well, but I haven't tested that one). Suspend has a 20s window to stop all processes to be able to suspend: while it isn't the only culprit, 90% of the time it's the trackerd process that prevents suspend.
