Name        : mlocate
Product     : Fedora 15
Version     : 0.24
Release     : 1.fc15
URL         : https://fedorahosted.org/mlocate/
Summary     : An utility for finding files by name
Description :
mlocate is a locate/updatedb implementation.  It keeps a database of
all existing files and allows you to lookup files by name.

The 'm' stands for "merging": updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid
rereading most of the file system, which makes updatedb faster and does not
trash the system caches as much as traditional locate implementations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Updated bind mount handling to handle lost information in /etc/mtab.
fuse.sshfs is excluded by default.
Updated translations.
