firefox: Drop support for tracker 0.10
Last modified: 2011-09-29 10:38:34 UTC
The firefox extension first tries to work with libtracker-sparql-0.10.so.0. But it's actually using some API that is not in 0.10, iirc.
Do you know which API? CCing Adrien here for comment.
Given that the Firefox extension is currently in the same repository/tarball, I would only support the current tracker library version.
Created attachment 197740 [details] [review] Suggested fix Adrien, can you let me know if you have any issues about this patch. Vincent, I wonder also if we're doing the same with the thunderbird plugin. Can you be more specific about the APIs we're using not in 0.10?

Well... :) This was done for the 0.10/0.11 support period which translates into 0.10/0.12 binaries of course. But I think you make a valid point. I will patch the Thunderbird plugin too if the approach here is fine by Adrien.

(In reply to comment #1) > Do you know which API? I don't remember as I found the issue on the computer of somebody else a while ago, and I didn't take a note of the exact issue. Maybe I remember wrong about the missing API, but it clearly made firefox hang :-)
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report. Should be in 0.12.4.
