Hi, I submitted the package plocate to the project server:search, with the idea to forward it to Factory eventually. Plocate is compatible with mlocate and can serve as drop-in replacement for it. Mlocate is not developed anymore and most distributions switched to plocate a long time ago. Plocate is more than a magnitude faster than mlocate and its index file is about half the size of the mlocate index file. Especially with some xx millions of files on your platter you will notice and appreciate it... And a major new feature: plocate supports multiple databases, so you can use e.g. remotely created databases in addition. This way you can use index databases of NFS mounted partitions. I changed plocate to act like the mlocate variant: - drop set-group bit of plocate - use RUN_UPDATEDB_AS mechanism of mlocate to search for files as user nobody - disable visibility check - add apparmor profiles Context: https://plocate.sesse.net https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Plocate_as_the_default_locate_impleme... https://lwn.net/Articles/846405/ Testing and feedback welcomed, Manfred
