Hi,
for my embedded systems I use gentoo. Their "harddisk"s are simple
microSDcards.
When updateing or emerging especially the "Calculation
dependencies..." is a step which needs a lot of patience of the
user (me ;).
Is there any way to make it faster or (in other words): Are there
different ways to "Calculating dependencies..." and have only chossen
the slowest one...?
What can I do to spped it up?
Best regards,
Meino
PS: This is ***NO*** complain against Gentoo, the emerge-process or
any other implizit or explizit critism!!!
I *love* Gentoo -- thats why I am using it even for my embedded
systems.
PPS: Yes, I know of crosscompiling and other way to do the hard work
on another machine. I screwed up my systems more than once in the past
with my attempts to get that working. I want to natively compile on
the embedded systems therefore.
Recent change to make portage a bit faster (or to fail faster):
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536926
Binary packages:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/94176
As far as I know, there is no magical tuning that would speed up portage
(it would be enabled by default I believe ;)).
