No. Cache/Concurrency issue. It's safer to not cache. Hi Nicholas, I really do not understand why would be using stored dependencies (which were stored few minutes before and nothing changed on system) dangerous. The only danger I see in bad implementation. IMHO not using cache is bad implementation too. you want `emerge --ask`. General caching is problematic as you can change USE flags or other stuff that invalidates the cache between emerge runs which would result in a lot of checks. |
