It supports the idea of a cache, but provides no=20 tools for maintaining the cache at all. I've put together an experimental patch for Portage 2.0.50-r10, which=20 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 s= ure=20 you have both 'sandbox' and 'confcache' set in FEATURES in /etc/make.conf. = =20 This feature only helps ebuilds which call 'econf'. I'd be interested in getting some feedback on this patch, as well as any=20 suggested improvements.
