I always found this annoying... How come when I emerge something, my 'esearch' isn't updated until the next time I do an 'esync'? * www-apps/trac Latest version available: 0.9.6 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of downloaded files: 995 kB Homepage: http://trac.edgewall.com/ Description: Trac is a minimalistic web-based project management, wiki and bug/issue tracking system. License: trac But I *DO* have it installed.... daevid ~ # emerge -av trac [ebuild R ] www-apps/trac-0.9.6 USE="cgi sqlite -enscript -fastcgi -postgres -silvercity -vhosts" 331 kB Then if I do an 'esync' it shows: * www-apps/trac Latest version available: 0.9.6 Latest version installed: 0.9.6 Why can't portage just be smart enough (and "smart" is a very generous term for the code neede to update this) to update whatever record/file/log/whatever it is that shows what I have installed?! This seems so silly and like a 0.0.3 kind of feature to put in to portage.
Sure, everytime you emerge something, we'll run the db update that takes minutes to complete and is pretty disk intensive... Feel free to use /usr/share/doc/esearch-<version>/eupdatedb.cron.gz sample cronjob and stick it to cron.hourly or run it from crontab every 5 minutes, but don't request such annoying stuff please.
