Subject: [bug#64471] [PATCH 0/2] File database update services
Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2023 11:59:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1688550926.git.ludo@gnu.org> (raw)
Hi!
These patches add two system services to periodically update file
databases: one for 'updatedb', and one for 'guix locate --update'.
I did not add them to '%base-services' mainly because: (1) 'updatedb'
builds a database of all the files available on the system, which
can be a problem on multi-user systems, and (2) the 'guix locate'
service is quite expensive ('time-machine' + 'store' method by
default) and eventually users may often download a pre-built database
from ci.guix or similar.
Thoughts?
Ludo'.
Ludovic Courtès (2):
services: Add 'file-database' service.
services: Add 'package-database' service.
