I have a stream-based back end working in this branch: https://github.com/zmedico/portage/commits/bug_525718_stream Now all that's left to do is to convert IndexedPortdb to expose an iter_cp_all method, and to fix the search class to iterate over iter_cp_all and display results incrementally. Once that's done, I'll think about exposing useful pieces as public APIs. -- Thanks, Zac
