Sometimes. Just like the current version, it seems? :) Yesterday, it took about 30 Minutes to do "Calculating world dependencies". That *IS* slow. >> I don't think it's a missing "emerge --metadata", as the metadata >> generation is included when running "emerge --sync" (Updating >> Portage cache: 100%), isn't it? > > Hrrrm. Pardon? > Yes it was a missing "emerge --metadata". Sure? What's done in the "Updating Portage cache" step? Why is "man emerge" saying, that --metadata is (sort of) run after a --sync? So, as I said, it's certainly not a missing --metadata run. What's causing emerge to be so terribly slow sometimes? It's also not a matter of load - I had nothing intensive running at this time, just emerge, firefox (no flash site shown), thunderbird. In top, emerge was shown as the most active process. > You will see when > you upgrade. Can't be done. This happened from time to time again for a long period now. And it happens with the current version. Alexander Skwar -- Time will end all my troubles, but I don't always approve of Time's methods. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
