[Bug 483556] Re: Make the loading of extensions to the engine configurable

 

Technical note: GSettings is a part of GLib, specifically GIO, and will
not as such incur a new dep., except requireing a very recent GLib
binding. However I am not sure we'll see bindings before we migrate to
an introspection-backed Python (PyGI).

But overall my opinion is simply that we must minimize the number of
files to parse or stat during startup.

Status in Zeitgeist Framework: Confirmed

Bug description:
right now the relevancy-provider is loaded by default. Unfortunately this extension is kind of buggy and not well tested, so in case of errors while loading this extension the whole engine would fail to run.
We need a configurable plugin-system for our extensions, and for now we should per default disable loading the relevancy provider. If this provider gets more stable we should easily be able to add this extension to the default extensions which are automatically loaded on engine initialization.
