See summary. I suppose it hasn't been caught and fixed only because people tend to move to rlocate from slocate; as it is, I have to either install (and uninstall) slocate or (as I obviously prefer) just copy the file from a computer where I have it. Reproducible: Always
A sample updatedb.conf is provided in the tarball as rlocate-0.5.5/debian/updatedb.conf Looks fairly usable to me.
Created attachment 120858 [details, diff] patch to install updatedb.conf And here goes the patch...
@vapier: Is it ok to commit this, or should this ebuild rather include the updatedb.conf from slocate?
Added updatedb.conf file of slocate.
