| Performance problems don't always need databases as the answer. |

| The current portage hierarchy contains a huge number of little files |
| 8 |
| with correlated data scattered all over the place. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
by the way; does everybody need the complete portage tree ? |
| 11 |
my servers will never run X, games, etc .... |
| 12 |
due to sec updates my portage mirror is syncing every two days |
| 13 |
but i would be fine just to sync the packages which i have/need |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
well, i could actually modify my rsync command but it would be good to |
| 16 |
have some (minimal) support in portage; |
| 17 |
for example to have locally stored&updated compressed list of |
| 18 |
directories and if something is missing (something what IS in portage) |
| 19 |
then it would fetch it, etc ... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
i'm nor sure about the details -> is it even possible ? ... it's just |
| 22 |
an idea ... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
the question is, how many users have at least 1/3 of all the packages |
| 25 |
installed |
| 26 |
i don't have, even on my home workstation where i do have X and gnome ... |
| 27 |
i don't know if it is exact, but my /var/tmp/portage shows 709 packages |
| 28 |
