Strictly from an end-user perspective, I think it's much better to have both alternatives easily available. I think that given the memory footprint of both tracker and beagle, the overhead in getting Nautilus to support either or both would be minimal by comparison. And the ability to choose which one you wanted to use would be a big plus in my book. Either a "Depends: [ beagle | tracker ]" scenario or a "Provides: desktop-search" + "Depends: desktop-search" (or something similar) would be ideal in my book. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
