There is a patch in the FC5 RPM, named "beagle-0.2.1-spew.patch" which hardcodes the debug level of Beagle: --- beagle-0.2.1/beagled/BeagleDaemon.cs.spew 2006-02-24 01:26:56.000000000 -0500 +++ beagle-0.2.1/beagled/BeagleDaemon.cs 2006-02-24 01:28:44.000000000 -0500 @@ -377,7 +377,7 @@ // FIXME: We always turn on full debugging output! We are still // debugging this code, after all... //arg_debug ? LogLevel.Debug : LogLevel.Warn, - LogLevel.Debug, + LogLevel.Error, arg_fg); I can understand dialing the otherwise very verbose output down, but why not uncomment the line immediately above this one? As a result, it is basically impossible to debug any runtime issues users encounter because the log level cannot be changed in the direction of verbosity. (See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335819 for an irritating back-and-forth.) Please fix this for the next release.
Seems to have been applied to fix bug 182660, which (ironically) just suppressed real error messages/bugs.
So i had a look at fixing this tonight, but our build system is having a hissy fit
This is now released as 0.2.6-1.fc5.2
