The only way you can meet this goal with loads of authorities is to restrict the startup screen to showing the top level of software categories available in the different repositories. This is easily doable (w/ software changes), and doesn't require performance to scale with the number of packages * number of repos. Client-side caching won't help, either, since it's really easy to end up w/ 100k package versions. - Bart Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird." _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
