Re: [Tracker] [Announce] Tracker 0.6.4

[Dinesh Dutt <ddutt yahoo com>]

Thanks for the tip. Using gstreamer was what was required. 

It'd less confusing to an end user if tracker detected these missing 
dependencies and stuck a warning. I saw in the output of configure that video 
searching was enabled with xine, nothing about audio and since I was using 
Beagle previously which didn't complain, I assumed that audio extraction was 
enabled.

Also, when I forcibly selected the trackerapplet option, it'd have been 
helpful if configure aborted with the missing dependency. I went through the 
config.log and found out the dependency and installed it.

Things are working well now. I couldn't get tracker-0.6.3 to be useful. It 
never returned me any search results after a while. This version is faring 
better. Thanks for the software,

Dinesh
