 10 Distributions
 ****************
 
 Almost all GNU/Linux distributions include findutils, but only some of
 them have a package maintainer who is a member of the mailing list.
 Distributions don't often feed back patches to the
 <bug-findutils@gnu.org> list, but on the other hand many of their
 patches relate only to standards for file locations and so forth, and
 are therefore distribution specific.  On an irregular basis I check the
 current patches being used by one or two distributions, but the total
 number of GNU/Linux distributions is large enough that we could not
 hope to cover them all.
 
    Often, bugs are raised against a distribution's bug tracker instead
 of GNU's.    Periodically (about every six months) I take a look at some
 of the more accessible bug trackers to indicate which bugs have been
 fixed upstream.
 
    Many distributions include both findutils and the slocate package,
 which provides a replacement `locate'.
