Description Stephan Binner 2007-01-04 12:09:19 UTC
It should be possible to install the Thunderbird backend without having to install beagle-search (and GNOME dependencies).
Comment 1 Joe Shaw 2007-01-04 18:13:05 UTC
The Thunderbird backend doesn't have a dependency on beagle-search:

Requires: MozillaThunderbird /bin/sh mono(Beagle) = 0.0.0.0 mono(BeagleDaemonLib) = 1.9.1.2 mono(Images) = 0.0.0.0 mono(Mono.Posix) = 1.0.5000.0 mono(System) = 1.0.5000.0 mono(Util) = 0.0.0.0 mono(gdk-sharp) = 2.8.0.0 mono(glade-sharp) = 2.8.0.0 mono(glib-sharp) = 2.8.0.0 mono(gmime-sharp) = 2.2.0.0 mono(gnome-sharp) = 2.8.0.0 mono(gtk-sharp) = 2.8.0.0 mono(mscorlib) = 1.0.5000.0

It does have a GNOME dependency though, because of the Thunderbird contact viewer that's included in the package.  There's no way to open addressbook contacts outside of Thunderbird itself, so we had to write our own small tool.  (Analogous to the IM contact viewer we have in beagle-search for IM conversations.)

I guess we could move that into beagle-search, but how will other tools handle opening of Thunderbird contacts?

I used the following repo to upgrade beagle on my 10.2:

http://software.opensuse.org/download/Beagle/openSUSE_10.2/

The current version there is 0.2.17. And thunderbird backend requires beagle-search (in package beagle-gui):

> sudo rpm -e beagle-gui
error: Failed dependencies:
        mono(Images) = 0.0.0.0 is needed by (installed) beagle-thunderbird-0.2.17-11.1.i586
Comment 4 JP Rosevear 2007-11-14 20:00:52 UTC
This is still the case.  Not sure what can be done with it give the viewer requirement, but we should review for oS 11.0.
Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2010-11-26 13:29:38 UTC
Beagle is dead upstream, we switched to tracker and we won't fix this in a maintenance update for old versions of openSUSE => WONTFIX.
