Paludis needs metadata cache of some kind (either repository provided or generated) to do any of the following with an ID: * Use its metadata. Package name and version are not metadata; slot is, as are things like keywords for working out masks. * Work out whether a package is installable (since EAPI is metadata). * Perform any action on that ID. > Is there a way to "convince" paludis to generate it on every sync ? You *could* use the instruo client to do that. But you probably don't want to, since it takes about 0.1s to generate metadata for each ID, and you probably won't use most of that generated metadata. -- Ciaran McCreesh
