I'm personally really disappointed that Beagle's no longer in the default install. This isn't to rag on Alex, or to even disagree with him - if it's causing bugs like this, then I understand why this had to be done, at least for now. But Beagle's a great tool - I use it *daily*, and while it's no problem for me to simply add it back into my package set, it's too bad that new users won't have Beagle's great features out of the box. I hope that this can be re-evaluated for F8! - Jens Knutson (Preemptive note to Tracker fanboys: I tried Tracker for a few days and disabled Beagle. At the end of my testing, I very happily re-enabled Beagle and removed Tracker completely - Tracker's not a /fraction/ as useful, Beagle doesn't use much CPU on my system, and RAM usage is hardly a concern - memory is CHEAP.) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
