Description Cosimo Cecchi 2013-02-27 04:35:50 UTC 
Attached patch fixes a crash in tracker-miner-fs reproducible (also with tracker-control -f) when indexing e.g. a file in a subdirectory of /opt.

tracker-miner: don't crash when first indexing files out of /home

If tracker_miner_manager_index_file() is called with a path outside of
the home directory, we'll end up recursing up to the file system root,
to create the parent directory objects.

When the tree we're passed is the filesystem root, and the file is
exactly equal to it, we should return the tree root immediately, or
we'll crash later in the while loop.

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.

This should be in 0.15.3 and 0.14.6. Thanks Cosimo! :)
