Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
First off, sorry if this isn't the right place! |
4 |
I didn't see anything more appropriate though, except |
5 |
perhaps Portage-dev, but I'm not a developer. |
6 |
|
7 |
I'm a FreeBSD user switching to Gentoo for my home |
8 |
system. Linux 2.6 is a LOT more stable than any |
9 |
FreeBSD 5.x-RELEASE kernels right now, and Linux |
10 |
has much better support for Wine and such. |
11 |
|
12 |
One of the most obvious differences between FreeBSD |
13 |
ports and Gentoo Portage is how LONG it takes to |
14 |
search for ports/packages with Portage. |
15 |
|
16 |
I have 525 ports installed on my FreeBSD laptop right |
17 |
now, and probably only half of that installed on the |
18 |
Gentoo machine, but the gentoo machine crunches a lot |
19 |
more doing a --search than the FreeBSD machine does |
20 |
with a pkg_version -vs 'name'. |
21 |
|
22 |
And forget about --searchdesc! That takes ages! |
23 |
|
24 |
Is portage not hash indexed or something? |
