`emerge -s ^pkg$` That's the problem. the -s means search, which takes quite some time. All it needs to do is go straight to the package i specify and print out the description. i really dont think if we added this special exception it would give you the performance increase you're looking for ... plus it's a very specific bit of code not generally useful for anything else if speed is your concern, use `esearch` (`emerge esearch`) if that is not acceptable, help the portage team transition to the binary database format |
