Move all documentation to html and place it into a directory that apache can |
| 15 |
disseminate from. Having a central, online, browseable doc tree would be |
| 16 |
beautiful. Priceless... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Move away from the filesystem database that portage currently uses to |
| 19 |
something with a bit more perfomance... mysql, sqlite even postgres... An |
| 20 |
SQL backend interface would be WONDERFUL. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Port portage to c or c++. Python sucks in the performance department... If |
| 23 |
not port to c then atleast start using psyco for a small perf boost... |
| 24 |
Rebuilding the cache (reading files) after a sync is... terrible... What a |
| 25 |
kludge... |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Work on eliminating the constant caching of dependencies and other caching |
| 28 |
processes during boot up... On some of my boxes, these caching periods take |
| 29 |
longer than it does for KDE to boot to a usable desktop... What a drag on a |
| 30 |
laptop that I use to display linux with.... It's the first thing that |
| 31 |
windows advocates point and laugh at... Give me a break and cache the damn |
| 32 |
things when changes are MADE, not everytime you boot the box... |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
We need a better portage tool that easily displays ebuild dependencies... |
| 35 |
Can epm finally be completed so it offers the same functions for portrage |
| 36 |
that rpm has for it's own packages? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Tone down the amount of noise that emerge prints to the screen when using |
| 39 |
it. I don't need or want to see maybe 99.99% of all the stuff it prints |
| 40 |
during it operations. All you need is... either "THERE WAS AN ERROR" or |
| 41 |
"THERE WERE NO ERRORS". That in and of itself would boost performance a |
| 42 |
lot!... Less console updates, more cpu for the task at hand... Less user |
| 43 |
confusion... |

PROGRESS BARS...PROGRESS BARS...PROGRESS BARS...PROGRESS BARS...PROGRESS |
| 46 |
BARS...PROGRESS BARS...PROGRESS BARS...PROGRESS BARS...PROGRESS |
| 47 |
BARS...PROGRESS BARS... |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Got the point??? :') |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
And above all else... make it all available as user options... that way |
| 52 |
nobody will cry-baby with the changes.... |
