Hi there, It just occurred to me that the emerges shall be much faster if emerges were able to use config.cache set by other applications. The steps during ./configure could be saved globally in an /etc/config.cache which could be copied over by the current emerge step as it if was its own - and be used. Could cut ./configure time by quite a bit.
But since I am a very average guy and there are many people much smarter than myself out there in gentoo, I think this idea has been discarded long ago since there are incompatibilities amongst various software in the way they do, if they do, create their config.cache. I was just curious. Have you considered it before? Please reply. -- Rohit Sharma -- [email protected] mailing list
