Subject: [gentoo-dev] Speeding up emerge -s
Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2003 19:00:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200301051859.40864.mail@psharp.uklinux.net> (raw)

Hi all,

I do the Portage Watch section of Gentoo Weekly News.

In order to check for masking my script uses emerge -s and greps for masked.  
The reason for this is that it is easy and also future-proof as far as 
masking locations are concerned.  (I _will_ soon be adding in information for 
non-x86 users).

The problem is that it is very slow.  As I hope to release the script for 
people to use themselves eventually I would like to speed it up.  My 
questions is therefore given that I know the exact category/package (ie I 
don't need to search) is there a better (quicker) way to get this 
information?

TIA

Peter
