Every time I use emerge -S to look for something I've got to wait an eternity
for results to appear.. so .... I feed up with this and I was thinking to
turn the whole portage system (the pseudo database I mean) into mysql, what
do you think about that?
As far I could see It's not so hard to translate. In this moment I'm writing
a bash script (no pyhton knowledge sorry) to try to full the mysql database
with the portage data.
And obviusly the benefits are a lot.
So.. I'm expecting your thoughts about this.
I think you like to use cannon to shoot a fly, don't you ?
I just extracted descriptions by simple bash script to plain text file and use grep for searching :-). It's fast enough too.

PS. It's possible to bzip2 it and use bzgrep as well.
