1 This patch is the actual replacement cache subsystem.
2
3 Cache db backend classes are now designed as repository centric,
4 instead of category centric. Reasoning is that a cache should be
5 standalone, should be able to specify single obj for a repo, and it
6 allows moving the eclass cache into the cache backend, instead of
7 having it seperated (and incredibly slow).
8
9 anydbm, flat_hash, metadata (rsync's metadata/cache), flat_list are
10 all reimplemented.
11
12 Addition of a sql_template class, and a sqlite implementatin for
13 testing the sql_template class.
14
15 Right now... those are slow. Comes down the fact stable portage can
16 only ask the cache for a single cpv at a time, so it's not exactly
17 leveraging the power of a select statement. Inclusion of the sqlite
18 class can be moved to another package, although sql_template should
19 remain.
20
21 Finally... cache/util.py . This module holds code for doing cache X
22 -> cache Y cloning efficiently, while providing hooks for user code to
23 register callbacks (implementation of percentage counts, every N
24 merged, etc).
