Re: Looking for speed increases in "make index" and pkg_version for ports

As long as far-out ideas are being discussed, how about caching such
information (including dependenices) in a file (I'd call it a database
but then I'd had to start a holy war :) ) so it's calculated only once,
preferably on the portsnap / cvsup servers and not at the end-user?

Because the information is not a constant. For example, the mpg123 port
changes its PKGNAME as soon as esound is installed.

Maybe the time has come to give up on some of the flexibility the ports
tree has (and this particular one is confusing to the users) in favour
of gaining speed?
