-mlocate (locate/updatedb implementation)
-
-mlocate is a locate/updatedb implementation. It keeps a database of all
-existing files and allows you to lookup files by name. The 'm' stands for
-"merging": updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid rereading most
-of the file system, which makes updatedb faster and does not trash the
-system caches as much as traditional locate implementations.
-
-This is the same "locate" that's in Slackware-current (and eventually 15.0).
-
-This conflicts with Slackware 14.2's slocate package! Before installing
-this, add slocate to /etc/slackpkg/blacklist and then:
-
- # removepkg slocate
-
-It's also recommended to:
-
- # rm -rf /var/lib/slocate /etc/updatedb.conf
-
-The locate database will be created daily, as a cron job. If you don't
-want to wait, you can create it manually:
-
- # /etc/cron.daily/mlocate
-
-If you want to revert to Slackware's slocate, remove slocate from
-/etc/slackpkg/blacklist, then:
-
- # removepkg mlocate
- # rm -rf /var/lib/mlocate /etc/updatedb.conf
- # slackpkg update
- # slackpkg install slocate
