1. Pulling in the dependencies. This is in effect doing a "make package-depends". You can
do this for yourself, and see that it takes a long time. I honestly don't see how to make
this faster, as presumably it involves calling "make" on all the dependency ports, and I
would guess that each new invocation of make adds considerable overhead just loading the
program.
This is "static" information, required for nearly all ports -> put it in
INDEX
2. Sorting the dependencies in pkg_create. My fix now cuts this out completely. Thus there
is no need to change the structure of /var/db/pkg to use databases or anything like this.
I haven't had time to look at your patches, but are your removing second
order dependancies? This would cut down the tree size considerably.
No. No second order dependencies are removed. The new algorithm does
exactly the same as the old one did, only it works a lot faster.
