This removes the dependency + on mlocate's database, at the expense of 1% larger plocate database. + plocate-build does not write the needed timestamps, so the first upgrade + from mlocate to native plocate requires a full rescan. Subsequent rescans + will be about as fast as updatedb.mlocate + plocate-build. plocate-build + is now deprecated. + + - The path name now defaults to /var/lib/plocate, and the group name now + defaults to plocate.
