Assigning to Rahul as a package specific change. Thanks. I have added a note to the wiki http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/PackageChanges Feel to add any further information directly to the wiki. The package listing on the referenced wiki is outdated a bit and pretty much reflects what the release notes state. locate functions without modifying anything as a user in any configuration file. References to changing the updatedb.conf file probably should be removed to soften possible confusion of incorrect additions of entries within config files. The package listing was not updated for the FC5 test1 release, there wasn't time to compose and verify, As for the content around this particular bug, please feel free to add or change the content directly in the Wiki. That portion of the site only requires you to be a registered user, no special editing privileges required. I'm closing this bug as in the current version of the release notes. Any changes made into the Wiki will be captured for the next update of test1 notes or for test2 notes. |
The /usr/bin/{locate,updatedb} implementation slocate was replaced by mlocate. - The locate command should be completely compatible. - /etc/updatedb.conf is compatible for correct configuration files; syntax errors that slocate wouldn't detect are now reported. The DAILY_UPDATE variable is not supported. - The updatedb command is _not_ compatible, custom scripts using updatedb might have to be changed. Thanks!
