Sorry, didn't knew that ^_^' |

Anyway, I don't think that the performance gain would justify the greater |
7 |
complexity. In fact, the performance you gain when rsyncing a user this way, |
8 |
is lost when an ebuild is submit (the FS must be mounted, the ebuild |
9 |
added/modified/deleted and the FS unmounted, all this without being able to |
10 |
accept users' requests). |

I think that there is not an easy way to get sync operations quicker. Maybe |
12 |
with the use of some sort of database. |
13 |
Instead, it would be nice to have a list of the packages available. The |
14 |
ebuilds could be fetched only on merge/update. "emerge sync" would upgrade |
15 |
only the list, and "emerge world -u" would send the world file to the server |
16 |
which would reply with up-to-date ebuilds. |

Would this be feasible? |
