Most of that work can be attributed to Brian Harring. For a real kicker though, throw "portdbapi.auxdbmodule = cache.metadata_overlay.database" into /etc/portage/modules and FEATURES="-metadata-transfer" into make.conf. Then rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep. This one goes to Zac Medico, the current release coordinator, and builds on Brian's work to cut out cache updating altogether. New in pre6 (pre5?) and in need of testing - especially when local modifications are made - but very promising. -- Jason Stubbs -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
