9 What you mentioned for the filesystem might be a nice thing (actually I
10 started something like this some time ago [1] , though it is now dead
11 ;)), but it does not help in the index/determine changes thing. It is
12 just another API :).
13
14 Perhaps the "index after sync" is sufficient for most parts of the
15 userbase - but esp. those who often deal with their own local overlays
16 (like me) do not want to have to re-index manually - esp. if re-indexing
17 takes a long time. The best solution would be to have portage find a)
18 THAT something has been changed and b) WHAT has been changed. So that it
19 only has to update these parts of the index, and thus do not be sth
20 enerving for the users (remind the "Generate Metadata" stuff (or
21 whatever it was called) in older portage versions, which alone seemed to
22 take longer than the rest of the sync progress)
