Oh, and once upon a time, there was actually a trick you could do to make portage keep its metadata caches in an SQLite database, which had its benefits, and I even had a rough tool I wrote in ruby and shared on the old (defunct) wiki that helped do quick database queries. But the trick actually makes portage slower in multiple ways, and it never really got widespread love. ( Though I would argue how the data was stored was also inadequate for a lot of other tasks one might want to do with a database, like, keeping DEPEND stored in its string format ) --Sig_/MMTyc1f_HOK1/uHmg2VvyeX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEgdrME8Lrmai3DXYJda6SGagVg7UFAl4HPUkACgkQda6SGagV g7X4vg//dlILOCLfWUbEdp6axpdSXoaoOm93+nfmNr+Z9sE9sTxoiw5/NakmQj0H 0Wy4n1LwxA2X736vc7qqthPNFhVoyoujmcXyvAb0s5geIOHdoGjsM8vBEPjQACvl Ojz2dOErIVnUg4WdDy3MI7NBDbzn9IQzvPX3QI7MeB1EQQtcxy5K0qMWDCVCS3Yh 2TL8Go4fGi46S0wt4EgV3x2/Bs2bEARf7PH4lc4LFooNw8v5lSW+7khGDZgl/b7L PvspzAzs4J/zmhZ6lUMoQiDGfOsYnfLzGBV54nrTz/iZHSmcysh26JHxkp38wFWt 3EtYeflrQqQ1pT1TrLvXRm5z0ZxK/7ES8CIEgA2DTyvhI9gwNt7/ybCnmGEnHNG4 qD63ZDdqcET5RyIBO+R/EVWr9aYEYAVYAuLtfh6WsG7glq43dBU94ZhPFw2MDqUM 8SNJe/s1yMyPPumxk9BMboEEXf2bMPz6lCVMXrsl206mCSrZjr7vjfypQwbgHkiM YiKYxzH7zRbeerg/8dP3WfWI/I04CaCIqTfYR+LSMf7Hao7juRw3Eu+kXIkSYHq5 aYK2Vbv/71wQecizVc1PuoYmu4+KAPUwtSfbwwN19rZsKscL3/XcVdJpR1agLa7n evXIof1Qc96b+rSVbzxML62qGvH7HZIuaeHF9pRtkNblD0WzWg8= =r68j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/MMTyc1f_HOK1/uHmg2VvyeX--
