[maemo-developers] [Fwd: [Bug 2772] Metalayer Crawler adds all oggs from Map application (with large CPU and memory usage)]

[From: Larry Battraw]

I would suggest a file at the root of each filesystem (call it either
.noindex or noindex.txt).  Formatting is just a list of directories
within the filesystem using relative addressing with simple globbing
allowed like so:

dev/*
sys/*
proc/*
home/user/maps/*.ogg
mapinfo*
...

That would be ok for removable media but perhaps less so for the
rootfs since it violates conventions on what typically appears at the
root (Do we care?).  We might also allow the file to appear anywhere
and apply for files in the directory (And subdirectories) too.
