It is faster and doesn't need to update its database to be aware of changes to your installed packages.

As a work-around, you might try app-portage/esearch. It's a sort of 'locate' for your portage tree. Run eupdatedb to (re)generate the search database, and esearch to look through it. Runs a lot quicker than a emerge -S or waiting for websites ;) ~Rik On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 3:02 AM, Michael Schmarck < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mike Mazur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 1:07 PM, Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> And I get this when I go there: > > > > Looks like they might be experiencing some downtime at the moment.
