Package: plocate Version: 1.1.8-2~bpo10+1 Control: block 1012617 by -1 The updatedb cron job reads /etc/updatedb.conf.
I have a package (chiark-backup) which sometimes mounts snapshot volumes in a predicteable location, and which should not be scanned by updatedb. I don't want to edit /etc/updatedb.conf in my package's maintscripts. Rather, I would like to be able to droo a file into some .d directory, containing PRUNEPATHS+=' /var/lib/chiark-backup ' or some such. I'm filing this as "normal" rather than "wishlist" because although it's a feature request here in mlocate, it's a *bug* in chiark-utils (#1012617). Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own. Pronouns: they/he.
