libbeagle is a standalone C library interface to the Beagle desktop search and indexing system. Users of libbeagle can search the Beagle indexes as well as send data to the service to be indexed. Although the Beagle daemon is written using C# and Mono, there is no Mono dependency when using this library. Also included are Python bindings to libbeagle.>
Ale jo, Miguel je čék nastrčený Novellem, aby v rámci obsazení opensource Microsoftem vyv9jel Mono (tudíž přesně pozpátku v časové posloupnosti) :-/Nie, ono je to ako v Scorseseho skrytej identite.
> fakt je ten, že ten člověk neseděl na zadku, ale dělal.Zásluhy Miguela získané v minulosti by nám nemali brániť pozrieť sa nezaujato na to čo robí teraz.
> Kontrolní otázka, soudruzi: co jste udělali vy (tedy mimo kecání)?Nemusím byť šéfkuchár z Carltonu, aby som vedel či je jedlo chutné alebo nie. Môj názor: Miguel sa vydal na riskantnú výpravu a ešte nie je jasné či to bol dobrý ťah. Teraz ani tak nejde o to či vie a skutočne produkuje dobrý SW. Tam je odpoveď kladná. Ide o to, či je správne to politické rozhodnutie - či je vhodné postaviť FOSS projekty na základoch položených Microsoftom. V tejto oblasti sa u Miguela nemáme o čo oprieť. Môžeme sa len oprieť o históriu Microsoft-u. Nezaujatosť spomínaná vyššie neznamená, že budem ignorovať historické fakty o ťahoch MS. Znamená len toľko, že treba byť opatrný.
Q4. After Mono 2.0 was announced on Monday, I saw speculation in several Linux discussion sites that Mono is somehow a 'trojan horse' that, along with Novell's alliance with Microsoft, will somehow give Microsoft patent leverage over the Linux desktop. Would you care to respond? A4.[Pauses] I'm surprised people were able to figure out our evil plot. (Attendant Novell press relations rep interjects: "He's kidding! He's kidding!!") The position of the Mono project has always been that we believe .Net includes a lot of innovation along with a good mix of well-known technology. So, if people found a patent infringement, we would take it out. If there's prior art, though, the patent is invalid. This is the way it is done in the open source world. A good example is Freetype. They discovered that they could not use a byte code interpreter for fonts, so they invented a different approach. This kind of punditry is always light on details. We've grown used to this. Mono was criticized way before Novell acquired Ximian. There is an animosity toward "anything Microsoft," and it lowers the level of discourse that you can have. I wish people focused on what the actual problems are. I am certainly against software patents. It is not only Microsoft that owns software patents, but hundreds of companies. But, I think Mono is singled out, and people give a free pass to lots of other projects.
