When

Agenda

Review items from previous meeting
Progress on app porting -- is it done yet ?
How to manage app releases
- Will we break Flatpak apps on older distros? How can we avoid that?
...

GNOME Photos
- WIP still
  - Notifications for miner status
    - Needs to change for sandboxed apps, we hope to combine the IndexFile call with the notification. It will not be possible to call org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner API directly from inside the sandbox.
  - Online miners
    - Need to run private endpoint
libfolks
- contacts, geary and maps using evolution-data-server, but having issues due to its unstable D-Bus API
- the libfolks tracker backend is not a priority since it's unused, but let's try to update it rather than remove it in case apps later decide to move away from e-d-s

* Plan for release

Apps will break when 3.38 is released on most distros, unless they packaged Tracker 3 already. We need to make this very clear in advance of it happening.
- PPA / COPR repos can solve this for LTS releases
Sam to mail release-team and app maintainers, explain the situation, etc.
Maintainers still largely unresponsive to our patches, and we are now only 6 weeks from freeze

GNOME Games:

Jean has a WIP branch for tracker3
mime types are important for Games. Soon we might not actually have mime type info in Tracker for content that we didn't extract
a change in Tracker to mark content as being a game, and in need of extraction, would solve this
- this isn't trivial though. some game content is split into multiple files (Playstation for example),
  - some are arbitrary .zip files (MAME games)
- Carlos will look into what we can do

Jean will add nmm:artist support to GStreamer extractor, after ontology change was merged.
