But we still have to parse the ebuild for stuff like SRC_URI, so parsing |
| 10 |
metadata.xml is an additional operation, and wether you need one or 10 |
| 11 |
variables from the ebuild is irrelevant for performance. And SRC_URI is |
| 12 |
nearly always subject to variable substitution, so moving it to |
| 13 |
metadata.xml is not an option. |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 21 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
