I just commited a change to comps which makes beagle optional instead of installed by default. The idea with beagle (and tracker) is nice, but bugs keep on showing up causing the search daemon to use a lot of cpu and/or memory, and this makes the default install look pretty bad.
This is somewhat of a feature regression in the default install, but at this point we just don't have the manpower to make it work 100%. But if people want it its still there, and eventually it'll be good enought to turn on by default without affecting the general distro quality.
Thank you my good sir. I hated that thing.
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!
The main problem really is that every release seems to fix a bug like this and uncover a new one, if enough testing is done in the F8 cycle then I'm sure the functionality alone is enough to bring it back.
I think it might be good if someone started helping Alex with beagle maintainership so we could ensure quick pushes of new updates as bugs are fixed. That would aid a lot as upstream fixes their issues.
