Hey glaubitz,

I have a question, are you currently releasing non maintainer updates to dlocate? I found problems with --word-regexp, --basic-regexp, and -s (when used in combination with --basic-regexp).

I've committed fixes to all of the above to the develop branch of my fork @ https://github.com/brbsix/dlocate/tree/develop

I scoured through the rest of dlocate it to modernize and streamline wherever possible.

A few additional options were added. One of them spurned out of my desire to simply return the owner of a file. I.e. on my system the command dlocate --package-only -S '/bin/open' returns 5 different packages. dlocate --package-only -S '^/bin/open$' returns none. Forgoing the ^ isn't reliable either (as it might return the owner of /usr/local/bin/open).

So I added additional options: -p List all records where the package name matches PATTERN -e List all records where the filename matches STRING exactly

Feel free to incorporate any/all of it into updates to dlocate. Let me know if you'd like me to do a pull request.

Regards, Six

Sounds very good. Let's merge all your changes into the Debian package then. I am currently a bit busy with other stuff, but we can definitely do that.

Cheers, Adrian

Great! I just submitted a pull request. I'm not really familiar with official packaging standards so I didn't mess with changelog. I bumped up version to 1.1 in the dlocate script itself but you may want to change it.

Yes, thanks for not messing with the Debian part. This should be my part if I am going to upload the package. I will look at it tomorrow or so as I am currently on a trip.
