Package: plocate
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Version: 1.1.13-1
Severity: normal
Dear developer,
as you find it okay to break backward-compatibility with mlocate
<https://bugs.debian.org/999487>, let me suggest you a thing, that is
definitely worth being broken:
a *very* unorthodox handling¹ of arguments to -n / --add-prunenames and -e /
--add-prunepaths by updatedb(8), that prevents users from specifying
whitespace-containing filenames here.
Instead, it seems to be reasonable to stick by the simplest approach possible,
where a switch accepts a single argument, and to specify multiple values, one
have to repeat it:
$ updatedb -l no -o "$HOME/.cache/plocate.db" -U "$HOME" -e
"$HOME/.local/share/Trash" -e "$HOME/various useless stuff"
Support for repeated switches is already here, so all what is to be done is to
stop splitting their arguments.
--
¹ For anyone unaware: they accept a single argument, which is expected to be a
whitespace-separated list of filenames. Can anybody suggest any other util,
that has the same inteface?
