Hi, Portage is slow? How to make it faster? By removing unused ebuilds!
I wrote a little script to check which ebuilds in portage aren't used anylonger, here the result: Total packages checked: 9076 Total ebuilds checked: 18662 Total ebuilds to remove: 4643 Of course the script can't detect every ebuild situation, so take the numbers with care. But still it shows that 1/4 of all ebuilds could be removed. This would improve portage performance by at least 1/4, so developers go ahead. The script is attached, just run it as if it was repoman, it won't do anything, just show the orphaned packages. mfg, heinrich :-)
