Did this change? It's not installed by default in bionic; and no meta package depends on it, but it seems to have moved to main in disco. I think both tracker and locate can offer a terrible user experience for a lot of users, due to I/O load after resume/boot; but tracker also has a ton of CPU usage extracting stuff from documents and putting the text into its xapian (?) db. > * The majority of cloud/server deployments aren't interactive these days. > It's a waste there. ack - also, it sucks to have this I/O load once a day. > > They key group I can see wanting it are developers - who can install it. ack -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
