Ah. I was not precise enough. |

Let me rephrase it in less ambiguous terms then - |
27 |
|

|
29 |
"Having EAPI in the ebuild is slower than having it encoded in the filename" |
30 |
|
31 |
Counterpoint: No, you use caching if it is that darn slow |
32 |
Bonus: GLEP55 makes caching that slower than accessing it directly |
33 |
Extra bonus: about a dozen emails going around in circles over a careless |
34 |
formulation that gets misinterpreted into "The iraqis have weapons of mass |
35 |
destruction!" |
