Most of that work can be attributed to Brian Harring. For a real kicker |
| 16 |
though, throw "portdbapi.auxdbmodule = cache.metadata_overlay.database" |
| 17 |
into /etc/portage/modules and FEATURES="-metadata-transfer" into make.conf. |
| 18 |
Then rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep. This one goes to Zac Medico, the current |
| 19 |
release coordinator, and builds on Brian's work to cut out cache updating |
| 20 |
altogether. New in pre6 (pre5?) and in need of testing - especially when |
| 21 |
local modifications are made - but very promising. |
