Sqlite cache for portage - still sensible?

[binro]

I noticed that eix had a sqlite use flag and since I have sqlite installed, I thought I would try it out. The man page refers you to a tip on the Gentoo wiki which, as we know, got trashed. I found https://bugs.gentoo.org/52321 but it is four years old. I have portage-2.2_rc13 installed, so is the sqlite backend still a good idea?

TIA

I'm still using it and it's quite fast. Google still has it cached(site:gentoo-wiki.com portage sqlite).

For me, it speeds up `emerge -s`, the `Calculating dependencies`-thingy and the update after `--sync`.

Edit, just try it, depending on your use YMMV, says the howto.

Thanks for the link, I will give it a try.
