Subject: [gentoo-dev] Portage ebuild cruft

Hi,

Portage is slow? How to make it faster? By removing unused ebuilds!

I wrote a little script to check which ebuilds in portage aren't used 
anylonger, here the result:

Total packages checked: 9076
Total ebuilds checked: 18662
Total ebuilds to remove: 4643

Of course the script can't detect every ebuild situation, so take the numbers 
with care. But still it shows that 1/4 of all ebuilds could be removed. This 
would improve portage performance by at least 1/4, so developers go ahead. 
The script is attached, just run it as if it was repoman, it won't do 
anything, just show the orphaned packages.

mfg, heinrich :-)
