Reading package info... is slow with a lot of packages (up to 13 seconds now for me on a Dual800 7200rpm drive, perl parsing 800 info files):
Information about 800 packages read in 13 seconds. Perhaps an index/database could be implemented for the unstable and stable trees, and only the "local" tree should be searched using the current method? The "index" could be updated when fink is updated, or when a "selfupdate" is performed. This would work well because the only tree that should be changing by the user is the "local" tree. All others are only changed via a selfupdate or new install. -Ben -- http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
