I have just installed plocate to try it on F34, and got: warning: /etc/updatedb.conf saved as /etc/updatedb.conf.rpmsave I reviewed the changes, and the new file is empty. Users will notice the difference. Is that expected? Is it because I'm still on F34? Also, the plocate-updatedb service was not started after installing it, so I can't use locate until the DB is created. Is that expected? Does it wait until the timer runs it? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
