Please, add mlocate to portage. http://carolina.mff.cuni.cz/~trmac/blog/mlocate/ "mlocate is a new locate implementation. 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."
Hmmm, have you tried sys-apps/rlocate?
I have not tried rlocate, but it seems to have many restrictions on the kernel. Maybe I will try it soon. mlocate should be really faster than slocate, and does not require kernel modules. So I think it would be nice to have in portage. It also is the new locate replacement on Fedora Core 5.

This is now in the sunrise overlay. You can find it at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/reviewed/sys-apps/mlocate/ I bumped version 0.17 and cleaned the ebuild a bit. Eventually I will bring it into Portage together with base-system

I planned working on the test suite today, but you helped me a lot. Tests are passed here when I activate FEATURES=userpriv in make.conf (or on the command line). There will a check added to the ebuild in Sunrise to start testsuite only, when those FEATURES are activated.

This is because setting "userpriv" disables sandbox.
May be it is good idea to move mlocate to portage from overlay? mlocate supports ignore-case of non-ascii symbols in utf8 encoding unlike slocate and rlocate

I will be maintainer, but would like to have it in a herd, too.
that's fine
In Portage now. If you want amd64 KEYWORDS, file a bug. The arch team for amd64 will take care of it. Thanks for the contributions and patience. Closing.
