Re: git: e78dc018f22d - main - sysutils/tracker3: fix build with clang 16

Apologies, I saw the following status update from you in Bugzilla:

Status: New → Open
Flags: maintainer-feedback?(gnome@FreeBSD.org) → maintainer-feedback+

so I assumed that was a form of approval.

In any case, the problem with sysutils/tracker3 is not so much with the program itself, as with the generation of some of its .c files by vala. I have attempted to look into what vala is doing in generating these .c files, but I could not figure out how to make it do the right thing.

That is, I suspect that upgrading tracker3 to the latest upstream release, while probably OK in itself, will not solve the particular issue with the clang 16 warning.
