GirFFI-based bindings for Tracker

• Auto-generated bindings using GObject introspection.
• Adds overrides for introspection data bugs.
• Supports Tracker 2.0 and 3.0

gem install gir_ffi-tracker

With Tracker 2.0:

require "gir_ffi-tracker"

conn = Tracker::SparqlConnection.get
cursor = conn.query "SELECT nie:url(?u) WHERE { ?u a nfo:FileDataObject }"
count = 0
while cursor.next
  count += 1
  puts "Found #{cursor.get_string 0}"
end
puts "Total: #{count}"

With Tracker 3.0:

require "gir_ffi-tracker"

conn = Tracker::SparqlConnection.bus_new("org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files")
cursor = conn.query "SELECT nie:url(?u) WHERE { ?u a nfo:FileDataObject }"
count = 0
while cursor.next
  count += 1
  puts "Found #{cursor.get_string 0}"
end
puts "Total: #{count}"

This gem depends on the GirFFI gem and its requirements. In addition, it needs introspection data for the Tracker 2.0 or 3.0 client library.

On Debian and Ubuntu, for Tracker 2.0, try:

apt-get install gir1.2-tracker-2.0

And for Tracker 3.0:

apt-get install gir1.2-tracker-3.0

This gem has not been tested on Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows. YMMV. Pull requests to support these platforms are welcome.
