Removing Beagle is one of the first things many Mandriva users do, on installing the system. It seems that it's just not a function many users find useful, yet. Maybe a more comprehensive implementation like KDE's Nepomuk will do the trick. But yeah, desktop search is not very widely used on Linux, and Beagle not working with Thunderbird / Firefox wouldn't be considered a blocker by many in QA or releng, I don't believe. BTW, the correct procedure if you consider an issue to be a blocker is simply to mark it as one - set it to block F11Blocker. If anyone currently CCed on the bug disagrees, they will discuss it then. Otherwise, it will stay so marked, and will be reviewed by the QA / releng team that reviews blocker issues (which we've been doing for a couple of weeks now) at the appropriate time. Just adding a comment to the bug won't do the trick - there's far too many bugs for there to be people from QA / releng following every single one, looking out for comments that say "this should be a blocker!" -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
