Subject: [gentoo-dev] Experiment: confcache patch for portage-2.0.50-r10

Hi,

GNU autoconf is a bottleneck for compiling packages - especially on 
multi-processor boxes.  It supports the idea of a cache, but provides no 
tools for maintaining the cache at all.

I've put together an experimental patch for Portage 2.0.50-r10, which 
maintains a cache for configure to reuse.  You can find it here:

 http://dev.gentoo.org/~stuart/confcache/

Once you've patched and re-installed Portage, to activate the cache, make sure 
you have both 'sandbox' and 'confcache' set in FEATURES in /etc/make.conf.  
This feature only helps ebuilds which call 'econf'.

I'd be interested in getting some feedback on this patch, as well as any 
suggested improvements.

Best regards,
Stu
