Package: rkhunter
Version:
1.3.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I understand that this is not strictly speaking a problem with rkhunter or the packaging
(hence the wishlist severity). However, on my laptop, doing the property update at the
end of each apt run is very slow. When apt-get installing small packages, it often takes
more time to update the properties than download and install the package.
Is there a way that we could speed this up? Either by priming the cache in a clever way
with readahead, or by being smarter about which files to re-hash.
Maybe it would make sense to create a "quick" property update where rkhunter would look
at each file and if the timestamp hasn't changed just assume that the hash is still the
same.
