@pmatilai Sorry, I have to disagree. It's not that cheap, as I said in the
ticket itself:
> when the former query takes 0.03s, the latter can take up to 2 seconds.
In my company, as everything is distributed as RPM packages, we need to query
that a lot during the build, to get the RPM dependencies right. This means that
`rpm -qf` can easily be called a hundred times - which means 200 seconds (more
than 3 minutes!) is spent on waiting for `rpm -qf` alone on every build! I'm
sure you will agree that it's a huge waste of time.
Reducing 2 sec to 0.03s, when it's multiplied by hundred, gives a real benefit.
Please reconsider.
Also, if I requested rpm -qf /opt/pkg/mylib/1.100/lib - what's the point of
checking, say, /opt/firefox/lib?
I didn't request just "**/lib" (in this case I would expect it to scan
everything), I was very specific - I'm interested in /opt/pkg/mylib/1.100/lib
and nothing else, so why scanning anything else at all?
