I think we need a place to store general metadata about guests.
Here are some uses:
- Store data about available installer ISOs, guests which are archived and not known to libvirt.
We will need this for our desktop integration plans but the understanding is that we depend on Tracker[1] for this. Tracker will need to be hacked to be able to differentiate between installer and non-installer ISOs though but thats pretty much doable. I just wonder if that solution also works for you? [...] [1] http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/
Where was it planned? Tracker seems to be a desktop search engine. Can we make the data available to Tracker without requiring it? (Seems one has to write a "tracker miner" to do this) Do we know that Tracker will stay around long-term (unlike Beagle etc)? Is it available without requiring GNOME and other heavyweight deps (eg. servers, KDE)?
