Bug 1931141

Some comments:

- plocate.spec:10: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 10, tab: line 1)

- mlocate obsoletes slocate, plocate should obsolete mlocate?

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mlocate/blob/rawhide/f/mlocate.spec#_22

- updatedb as default name rather than plocate-updatedb

> %meson -Dupdatedb_progname=plocate-updatedb
(...)
> %_sbindir/plocate-updatedb

- Change /var/lib to %{_sharedstatedir}

> /var/lib/plocate/CACHEDIR.TAG

- mlocate is triggered after install, could be interesting also here

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mlocate/blob/rawhide/f/mlocate.spec#_81

Updated in place with the suggested changes, and an update to latest version.
As suggested, the service is not started (asynchronously) in %posttrans if enabled, so
that the database is populated after installation.

With the reply from mlocate maintainer [1], we have a clear plan how to proceed:
plocate conflicts with mlocate. At some point in the future we can add Obsoletes.

 - Why:

%exclude /usr/lib/debug

AFAIK it goes automatically into the debug packages

 - 1.1.8 has been published

 - Is the whole systemd-devel needed, or would systemd-rpm-macros?

*suffice?

 → it appears it is detected by meson to install the unit files

 - drop the patch with 1.1.8


LGTM, You just need to remove  

%exclude /usr/lib/debug

fro; %files

Thanks!

 → it appears it is detected by meson to install the unit files

Yeah, it's using the systemd.pc file. It'd be nice to allow this to be overridden
using a configure switch, so the systemd-devel is not needed, but that'd be something
for upstream to patch.

EDIT: I added a patch to use the macro instead. I'll submit it upstream by email.

I'll update to 1.1.8 inplace.

@moceap can you take it from here?

Mosaab, ping!

I want to get this done, so I submitted a fresh review request under my account.
Robert-André: if you could re-approve the package in the new ticket, that'd be great.
It's the same, except for a trivial version bump to 1.1.11, which was released 3 days ago.

Default /etc/updatedb.conf can be added?

(In reply to nucleo from comment #8)
> Default /etc/updatedb.conf can be added?
It could, but I don't see much reason to. The man page says that all options default to
empty, and the man page describes the possible options quite well.
