doesnt qpkg already do this ? (part of gentoolkit) i dont think it stores hashes, but it maps packages onto files and files onto packages If we provided an up-to-date manifest for all packages online somewhere, it could consult that db if the local one doesn't have any matches. If so, a long-standing nuisance with qpkg would be solved. I guess it'll take a while before I'm going to address this one If this is still relevant, please can you add another bug with an ebuild for pdb? It should be part of the app-portage group. |
