Hi Karel, and all,
Here are the results of the whereis(1) work which I mentioned earlier the
week in irc. All of the patches are related to that command, and as you
can see from the diff stats a lot has changed.
The first patch is quite big. Unfortunately I ran out of imagination how
to make it smaller, as the patch is the core change enabling rest of the
work. Most what the 0001 has got going is with search directory list
building using new data structure.
In between patches are quite straight forward till second last which will
canonicalize output file names. I think that is what users are
interested, but I a may be wrong as well. Comments, anyone?
The last patch is a bug fix to RedHat item. See commit message for
further details.
One funky side note. After the changes the whereis seems to run about
20% quicker. That was unintentional enhancement.
