It is the first of the month again and as every month I get a burp of noise from scrollkeeper. But I don't even know what it is. I read the package description. It was so informative. Not! It is so abstract as to say nothing at all about scrollkeeper. I will reproduce it here. > It stores metadata specified by the http://www.ibiblio.org/osrt/omf/ > (Open Source Metadata Framework) as well as certain metadata extracted > directly from documents (such as the table of contents). > > It provides various functionality pertaining to this metadata to help > browsers, such as sorting the registered documents or searching the > metadata for documents which satisfy a set of criteria. Would it be possible for a kind soul to educate me? What is scrollkeeper? Why does it burp noise every month? > Subject: Cron <root@hprwp> test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly > > /etc/cron.monthly/scrollkeeper: > scrollkeeper-update: /usr/local/share/omf: No such file or directory > Registering /usr/share/omf/gnome-core/gnome-feedback-C.omf > Registering /usr/share/omf/gnome-core/fdl-C.omf > Registering /usr/share/omf/gnome-core/gnome-feedback-no.omf > [...three big pages of lines like this deleted...] And I can't remove it or it will also want to remove galeon-common and therefore galeon-common. But interestingly not mozilla. I would be happy it if removed everything else since I use fvwm and not gnome. > The following packages will be REMOVED: > galeon* galeon-common* gdm* gnome-applets* gnome-control-center* > gnome-core* gnome-help* gnome-panel* gnome-panel-data* > gnome-session* gnome-terminal* gnome-users-guide* gnome-utils* > gtm* sawfish-gnome* scrollkeeper* I will manually disable it unless there is an overwhelming reason not to do so. I hate gratuitously noise cron jobs like this package. Multiply this across many machines and it equates to a mail bomb regularly in my mailbox each month. Thanks Bob
