The list is stored in a small database file in /var/cache/edb/mtimedb |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
It is a binary file full of pickled python objects. I was actually |
| 19 |
poking around it and thought about writing a tool. I will commit more |
| 20 |
time to it if you are interested; although be warned that editing things |
| 21 |
in that file is not particularly recommended. The dependency resolution |
| 22 |
for the packages in the list is done and the list is created. Removing |
| 23 |
items from it could cause packages to not build, and the dependency tree |
| 24 |
to essentially be broken for that list. |

Also, portage questions are generally well received at |
| 27 |
gentoo-portage-dev@g.o, or on IRC: irc.freenode.net #gentoo-portage. |
