I'll go for not throwing up dependency errors if uninstalling, but it definitely needs to be in the default install. Most users will want Beagle.
I doubt this - all the users we have hate beagle and either remove it or ask someone to remove it for them.
Exactly. Other than a few on this mailing list, I have yet to meet ANYONE who likes or uses Beagle. The issue is not whether or not these people do or do not use a desktop search tool... it's because of the major performance impact that happens when Beagle is running.
I use it and "locate" and like it. I seldom notice it running. I run my system 27/7, x86_64 X2.
I can really see the usefulness of the concept behind Beagle... especially for a few end users that I know and help out from time to time. The trade off though... The system performance impact they are all reporting is consistent... and it's consistent with my experience.
I guess mine is the only one inconsistent.
To those that say open a bug report... open it and say what? Beagle is too slow? Devs will want specifics (and rightly so).
They *will* ask for specifics and tell you how to get them. But YOU must take the first step as they do not know you have a problem. This is not the place to make your concerns noticed by the developers.
I have no specifics other than to say that Beagle is not suitable to be used on a regular basis because of the performance impact I and every one else I know have experienced.... which is basically what almost everyone here is saying... minus the few who do have Beagle working fine.
I would like to know how they managed it... if the answer is something along the lines of "I opened a terminal, su to root, nice -19ed it and then issue this other long string of commands..."... sorry... that tells me that Beagle should not be given to the masses by default. If it works by default, then why is it working for you and not the rest of us?
I don't know, but the developers need to know. You are the same as bellyaching about a polition and not voting!
What is different? I install a default install as given me by the openSUSE installer and Beagle is consistently a resource hog... not only on initial boot, but long long after as well. This is the same (in my experience) on clean installs with no user data, and on my desktop with its 1.2TB of legacy data across 7 drives. Something doesn't make sense here.
