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
|
