Hi, |

Portage is slow? How to make it faster? By removing unused ebuilds! |
4 |
|
5 |
I wrote a little script to check which ebuilds in portage aren't used |
6 |
anylonger, here the result: |
7 |
|
8 |
Total packages checked: 9076 |
9 |
Total ebuilds checked: 18662 |
10 |
Total ebuilds to remove: 4643 |
11 |
|
12 |
Of course the script can't detect every ebuild situation, so take the numbers |
13 |
with care. But still it shows that 1/4 of all ebuilds could be removed. This |
14 |
would improve portage performance by at least 1/4, so developers go ahead. |
15 |
The script is attached, just run it as if it was repoman, it won't do |
16 |
anything, just show the orphaned packages. |
