Proposed change to slocate package

Hi,

Recently I have started mounting windows shares on my slackware box using the cifs protocol instead of the smbfs protocol. I immediately noticed that cifs is not listed in the file /etc/updatedb.conf while smbfs was. So, I'm wondering why cifs is not included in the the PRUNEFS line.

Regards, Cor

You should look through root's mail for Pat Volkerding's email
address and send this question to him. That way you'll get an
official Slackware answer, rather than someone's opinion.

I happened to notice this LQ thread, so no need to mail - this is queued for the next public update. Thanks!

I had mailed Pat Volkerding some time ago but received no reply. I imagine he gets quite a lot of mail so it might have slipped by, and it isn't a critical feature. I hoped some of the crew would notice, thanks Robby

Looking forward to 12.2++

Cheers, Cor
