Because we're not trying to calculate python and perl requirements for the import: * Updates of the encapsulated platforms will be done more quickly because with smaller number of dependencies, dependency closure will be calculated more quickly. * The conary database will be a little bit smaller from storing fewer dependencies. * We will not have to spend as much time resolving group build dependency failures by whiting out specific additional conary dependencies that would be seen from the Fedora context as false positives. * We will be able to build all encapsulated packages with the same build requirements, a smaller set that is faster to install, and because it's the same it will be able to be cached and re-used. Both of these factors will speed up the import process, even without writing Conary build speedups. _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
