Bug#429602: cruft: replace find by locate

[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

Please have a look at my ITP for cruft-ng:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770445

This is a rewrite of cruft in C.
It reads mlocate binary database dirreclty to achieve a 15x - 30x speed-up.

Any comments welcome

Alexandre Detiste

Bug#429602: cruft: replace find by locate

[Sylvain Le Gall]

Package: cruft
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

During the BoF about cruft, we speak about speed issue of cruft. I just
take a look at cruft code (not a long look though). I think you should
replace find by locate (only 1 occurrence in cruft script). This can
give you a great improvement and we only be inaccurate of the amount of
time the run of cruft is separated from the run of updatedb.

Just to make a suggestion.

Regards
Sylvain Le Gall
