Multiply that by who knows how many total deps of kde there can possibly be, and the time adds up. So, your knowledge of the number of deps doesn't mean jack until you realize how long repoman takes. That's not even counting the number of times you re-run it just to double check you didn't make a mistake. It's a long process. Steve -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
