Due to poor performance of emerge --search, this is a recurring theme. |
| 5 |
For the record, my recommendation is to extend egencache with an option |
| 6 |
to concatenate all of the entries from metadata/cache/ into a single |
| 7 |
file that can be quickly searched by tools like eix and emerge --search |
| 8 |
(among many others). Having all the metadata cached in a single file |
| 9 |
makes for fast searching because it minimizes disk seeks. If we enable |
| 10 |
generation of this type of single-file-metadata-cache on the master |
| 11 |
rsync mirror, then tools like eix and emerge --search can use that |
| 12 |
directly instead of needing to generate a separate cache after each sync. |
