Epiphany indexing is outdated and not shipped

[Hezekiah Carty]

I'm not sure if this should be listed under epiphany-browser, epiphany-extensions, or beagle. But using the current Dapper versions (just upgraded to Beagle 0.2.5, and using epiphany* 2.14.1) no epiphany browsing data is indexed for searching. Konqueror data is indexed currently.

Confirmed.

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

I can confirm this too... the problem is that epiphany-browser is missing as a build-dependency. Brandon, could you please look into this?

[Hezekiah Carty (hez)]

Has there been any headway made on this? In the mean time, what steps would be required to change this?

[Hezekiah Carty (hez)]

This is still an issue as of beagle version 0.2.6-1ubuntu3.

It doesn't look like the extension is being bulit and I don't think it will be built by default. I got it to buld with these switches:

./configure --with-epiphany --enable-epiphany-extension --enable-epiphany-extension-install

and it appears to work.

digger - Did you use the beagle sources from Dapper for this?

Thanks for the tip!

No, I pulled the CVS for beagle and did it from there. I would expect
the source from dapper would also be fine.

These are the files that were installed.

beagle.xml
libbeagleextension.a
libbeagleextension.la
libbeagleextension.so

Here's a patch to the beagle source package to build a new package "beagle-epiphany-extension".

It's set to explicitly depend on Epiphany 2.14 (the version in Dapper) since the Epiphany version number is included in the path where the extension is installed. Someone with more packaging-fu may know a way to make this build against whatever version of Epiphany is installed.

I have associated a branch and linked to the upstream bug about the epiphany extension, I ask that we consider using the new extension, as the old one is VERY insecure and not very efficient (it spawns a new process on every page view and dumps the content to a pipe) The new one hasn't been tested much, and we can't expect to see it in edgy, but for edgy+1, it might be better to wait for the new extension.

Please note, the new extension isn't finished and still needs some UI work (like a statusbar notifcation) and some settings management window. Patches are accepted!

Hi

Thanks for working on this bug!

[Kevin Kubasik (kkubasik)]

There is a new epiphany extension in 0.3.0

[Kevin Kubasik (kkubasik)]

In hardy now.
