this is a speed enhanced portage that has a 2x speedup. It also includes a editor (which depends on PyQt) that will handle updateing the db. For more info, refer to the included readme.

hi I saw the source code and tested it(cdb) Then I like your patch because it's very simple and effective :) I have a question. In portdbapi.aux_get(), why are you omitting many code? And I found a little problem. - dbdir=settings["DBDIR"] + dbdir=settings["DBDIR"]+"/" anyway, I think we should include this patch :)
RE: #3 Actually, I just got back from a month long vacation, this is code that was written b4 then, so it is based off of 2.0.47-r1. While I was gone, I did some more work and brought it up to .47-r3. Unfortunately, Hotmail lost the file that i emailed my self :( so im waitng for the owner of the comp i used to reemail. As to your bug, thnx for pointing it out, ill be attaching a fixed tarball, with a more apropriate default directory (/var/db/cache). Also, I think the dict is the better option. It is easier to work with, and doesnt add any extra deps. The file is also guarenteed by pythin to be cross-platform, and I have no way of testing this with cdb. So far, the only reason cdb is still in there is becuase I didnt have the heart to delete a week's woth of work that is still working ;). It cauld also stand more testing to deturmine which is really fastest. My box is a 3gb p2 400 lappy, which i doubt is a typical gentoo box. Last thing, did you try out the ebuild editor/browser? It my first standalone python prog, so I wanna get some opinions. I also think it might be useful to some devs.

Forward duping this on bug 83371, the speed up is via a different db backend. Beyond that, re-open a seperate bug with the portage-editor if you still are looking for it inclussion *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 83371 ***
