Bug#448104: RFP: rlocate -- an implementation of locate that is always up to date

[Tim Connors <reportbug@rather.puzzling.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

rlocate appears to be an implementation of slocate that solves the
problem of being up to 24 hours out of date (or longer on frequently
rebooted machines without anacron).

May need to be combined with a kernel module package and patches
(built in the default makefile) to go into the debian kernels.

Still in beta with a 0.4.0 release in 2005, but the latest snapshot is
0.5.6 dated 2007-08-14.
