Re: [DLG-dev] Additions for 2.18

Tracker certainly seems to be in better shape than the last time I
looked at beagle, although thats been a while.

So so far we have:
-> tracker/beagle
esd -> pulseaudio
-> deluge

Other than that, as always there are other cd burners and music
libraries available as gtk applications, so perhaps we should evaluate
those options again. I won't propose gstreamer this time around as it
hasn't been updated since the last time I tested it.

The only other things I can think of are:

We really need to have X11R7.2 packs as an extra that can be used
simply by dropping them in with upgradepkg. I haven't had much of a
chance to work on them this weekend with having no power, but they
should be coming in the not too distant future. More than for
eye-candy we need to have these available since 6.9 isn't going to get
any new non-binary drivers.

Also, the elisa media center may be worth checking out at some point,
although I can't see it as a thing for 2.18.

Oh and gegl is being actively worked on again for the first time in a
very long time. While not something that will happen for 2.18, or even
for 2.20, I expect we'll need to include it once the gimp starts to
depend on it, but that could be something like the mythical 3.0.
