How often does this cron job run and what are the contents of your |
5 |
cron script. Do you use "emerge --sync" or probably "eix-sync". I am |
6 |
asking this because if you sync to often and you use eix-sync the |
7 |
portage cache is deleted in advantage of the sync and is not recreated |
8 |
if it fails because of identical timestamps between the local machine |
9 |
and the rsync server. |
10 |
|
11 |
So when calling emerge after this the cache has to be created before |
12 |
and thus it seems dependency calculation takes very long. |
