Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: beagle
By default Beagle should not store indexes in a user's home directory.
In *many* cases, home directories are not local file systems, but either
NFS or AFS mounted. The data Beagle uses (including it's own socket) is
cache data. It can be destroyed without harm. The data is also system
specific.
It would be better of Beagle stored it's data in a directory like
/var/cache/beagle/indexes/$username.$rnd using basic temporary directory
name allocation methods: find an existing directory $uid.*, check owner,
if not create a new one. This would allow beagle to maintain it's own
data per-system the user logs into, as well as making it part of the
system policy that the data can actually be deleted.
It would also allow beagle to function out of the box on remotely
mounted ~ directories.
