commit 4354163e5fe8e180f62b892cdc3e51e3d7e4706f Author: Matthew Seaman <[email protected]> AuthorDate: 2024-05-27 08:14:15 +0000 Commit: Matthew Seaman <[email protected]> CommitDate: 2024-05-28 10:20:07 +0000 Don't package /var/db/locate.database ... or install an empty file. The locate database is a mutable working file, and unsuitable to be managed by pkg(8). locate(1) copes gracefully with the absence of this file. Running /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate will create the locate database with the correct ownership and permissions. Having the locate.database file as part of the FreeBSD-runtime package means it gets zeroed if ever that package gets updated, which is excessive, given that updating packages will typically only change a relatively small number of the _filenames_ on the system -- unlike the file contents. Plus it always causes it to flag as modified when verifying checksums, but /var/db/locate.database is expected to be modified by the user.
