Coming from Ubuntu and having installed dlocate, I've had locate -
required by dlocate - and mlocate - superior disk access an installed by
default by Ubuntu - trash my disks daily for a year or two.
I've iterated a bit through #494673 and the related discussion in #454106
however I do not get it.
The README in #494673 suggests disabling the daily locate disk trash run,
which I now did. James Youngman suggest somewhere in the middle of the
#454106 discussion
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=454106#10) to
instead generate the locate DB from the mlocate DB.
If I check /usr/sbin/update-dlocatedb (dlocate!) I see the locate DB
referenced but no mention of mlocate there. So I'd assume, that once I
have switched off the locate run, this would stop updating the locate
DB and since dlocate is using the locate DB this would also stop
updating the dlocate DB. Is this correct or am I confused?
Could this later point be made clear in the README?
And could the README be included in the dlocate package please? I'm
thinking it could spare the world a few dozen kilo joule of electricity
over all?
