I love beagle, but not the memory footprint it uses and updates for mono
used to break beagle, and vice-versa. I hope that "tracker" gets in
Fedora 7 - and FAST.
Seems very nice indeed. For kicks, I created a file with some string in it
echo "abcdefgh" > junk
then right away
tracker-search abcdefgh
found it instantly. I don't even know when or how it indexed it. After
the initial indexing, tracker it's unnoticeable. Beagle was reasonable
when I was working on the computer, but would take up 100% of the
processor after some 10-20 minutes of inactivity. So I uninstalled
beagle. Tracker doesn't seem to do that.
I don't have the same response on FC6. I did the exact same thing
and tracker didn't find it. I tried searching for a string found
in a file in my home directory and it didn't find it. I get all
sorts of odd responses to tracker-search such as:
$ tracker-search abcdef
tracker-search: internal tracker error: Did not receive a reply.
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a
reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
This while tracker is streaming information on the tty I ran it
on.
