One long-standing issue (that's becoming more relevant now that Workstation and desktop spins switched to Btrfs in F33, and Cloud in F35) with our mlocate is that it's configured to skip bind mounts by default: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=906591
which affects both Btrfs-based installs and rpm-ostree ones, because `/home` is on a Btrfs subvolume, and on a bind mount on Silverblue even predating Btrfs being default, and both look like bind mounts. This was overridden for Silverblue and other rpm-ostree based spins: https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/76#issuecomment-705507196 but using a RPM scriptlet, and I'm glad with plocate we can just use the default settings rather than having to hack in yet another exception for Btrfs systems. Users likely expect `/home` to be indexed if they bother using `locate`. Best regards, -- Michel Alexandre Salim profile: https://keyoxide.org/mic...@michel-slm.name
