CRUX 2.5: replace slocate by mlocate
Hi all, apologize for bringing up this so late, I simply forgot it, but Johannes' blackbox email reminds me ;-) * I'd suggest to replace core/slocate by mlocate for CRUX 2.5 why: slocate is maintained by debian, but there's no activity for a long time, so I'd call it unmaintained. mlocate: is a drop-in replacement for slocate maintained by RH, but much faster in the second run because it merge-in new files instead of rebuilding all from scratch. [1] [2] Unfortunately the switch is not fully painless, because mlocate needs a new system-group 'mlocate' and cannot co-exist with slocate because of conflicting file names. To test mlocate I've added a ports to my private repo [3]. Greetings Juergen PS: if you are using the current version of pkgmk you have to download the source-file by hand, because of a failed certificate check, pkgmk in git already has a fix for that [4]. A new pkgutils release for 2.5 would be nice.

Oops, I forgot that there have been a few fixes piling up in pkgutils.git :) I'll take care of releasing them. Is anyone else working on patches for pkgutils for 2.5 still? If so, please speak up soon :p Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

I pushed both of these. Any more? Otherwise I'll release a tarball on monday or tuesday :) Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

* I'd suggest to replace core/slocate by mlocate for CRUX 2.5 mlocate sounds interesting, although I can't test it at this point in time. +1 to the switch though, based on what I can find online.
Unfortunately the switch is not fully painless, because mlocate needs a new system-group 'mlocate' and cannot co-exist with slocate because of conflicting file names. Mmmh, as long as people run rejmerge this should be painless, right? 'setup-helper' can replace slocate with mlocate.
Maybe we should check for files in /var/lib/pkg/rejected in the very end of 'setup', and print out an exit message, stating "Remember to run rejmerge to finish the update procedure - Enjoy your new CRUX $VERSION".
PS: if you are using the current version of pkgmk you have to download the source-file by hand, because of a failed certificate check, pkgmk in git already has a fix for that [4]. A new pkgutils release for 2.5 would be nice. +1
Given that all these changes are rather isolated and thus shouldn't break anything that's already tested, could we maybe build a test3, and ask maintainers to immediately move to this one to get the ports ready? This should allow for a mid november release of 2.5 Cheers, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann jw@smts.ch

Sorry, I meant for you to test the port right know, not for the switch with 2.5 where setup-helper is our friend.

I can build a test3 the next days, but suggest to wait for a new pkgutils release. If there are no objections I'll do the following chances besides using a snapshot of the ports tree: - kernel update to 2.6.27.4 - replace blackbox with openbox - replace slocate with mlocate Greetings Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

Also:
- remove older kernel-modules (known issues with test2)
