Like I stated, so do I, but I wouldn't find it problematic to install it for myself, and stop it from annoying the majority. Likewise, I wouldn't think Ubuntu to be any less geek-compliant even if I had to turn slocate on manually. I'd even like to configure it manually myself instead of it defaulting to daily updates which annoys me, too. Anyway, I understand that defaulting to cron.monthly would make the data too obsolete, so cron.weekly might be a sensible compromise in a short term, in the case slocate will not be disabled for now. But also Matt's /etc/default/slocate with setting defaulting to disabled sounds good, except for I don't know how to do it so that it's only disabled for the desktop installations. Slocate would be even installed by default like currently, but on desktop installations it wouldn't run except if the setting would be turned on. -Timo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
