So these tools are NOT a solution for managing data. For that we would need a object oriented file system or at least a service approach meaning that we have a service ( Off by default but configurable from GUI frontend ) where applications can query this service OVER the network.
Ok, you have exactly that; except it is on by default because there is no reason to have it off.
And of course the data is NOT stored in a DB which is even a SINGLE file.* Such a service would scale from a local PC ( Standard Linux Environment Implementations ) to large networks. I think its already exist and it is called "search engine".
You are changing the use-case. Tracker is, and Beagle was, a *desktop* search tool. And you are wrong that you can't access Tracker, and that you couldn't access Beagle, over the network. Both are possible and work, or worked, well. I used Beagle via it's *HTTP INTERFACE*; it worked really well and was my browser's home page for years. -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com OpenGroupware Developer http://www.opengroupware.us Adam Tauno Williams -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
