The cache in /metadata/cache is updated through rsync. Though it seems |
| 5 |
that it is not guaranteed to be up-to-date (I haven't studied how to set |
| 6 |
up a gentoo rsync mirror, so I'm not sure how and when the cache is |
| 7 |
compiled). If this cache was guaranteed to be up-to-date, then |
| 8 |
/var/cache/edb/dep would be 100% redundant. Right now it's 98% redundant, |
| 9 |
and emerge spends a lot of time regenerating that missing 2%. |
