Hello guys,
as of now we have mlocate [1] package in factory do you think it would be wise to remove the findutils-locate as whole to only keep this implementation which is faster and more reliable around?
There is no tempting reason (license issues; fails to compile for 60+ days and package abandoned) to delete the package at this time.
Good point, it indeed is not dead nor failing to build, but technically if other distros disable it we might be the only ones having the codepath and thus seeing and dealing with the bugs.
That of course does not impede _changing_ whatever preference of other packages or yast installation patterns, etc.
This should be enough, will look on the patterns, is there something else defining the to-install lists apart from it? Also I would like to notify the current users of the findutils-locate that they can use the actually better implementation is that somehow possible? Cheers Tom
