Subject: tracker debian packages do not build extra utils
Date: Sun, 25 May 2014 19:28:16 -0500
Package: tracker
  Version: 1.0.1


In the tracker source, there is a utils folder at the same level as
the src folder. The utils in that folder do not get built as a debian
package, only the utils in src/tracker-utils get built.

In my specific case, I need the ontology-validator utility, but there
are others that are useful for other people.

Please provide a debian package with these extra utilities.

The utils directory no longer contains an ontology-validator utility.
We build this directory as upstream provides it.

There have been many changes to Debian since this bug was originally
reported. If you are still experiencing this issue with Debian 13 (or
with Debian 12 or Testing or Unstable), please report a new bug.

Thank you,
