1 Hi all,
2
3 I do the Portage Watch section of Gentoo Weekly News.
4
5 In order to check for masking my script uses emerge -s and greps for masked.
6 The reason for this is that it is easy and also future-proof as far as
7 masking locations are concerned. (I _will_ soon be adding in information for
8 non-x86 users).
9
10 The problem is that it is very slow. As I hope to release the script for
11 people to use themselves eventually I would like to speed it up. My
12 questions is therefore given that I know the exact category/package (ie I
13 don't need to search) is there a better (quicker) way to get this
14 information?
15
16 TIA
