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 :-)
