| This is the best Gentoo tip I've seen. That 52% slowdown when doing an 'emerge sync' has been eliminated, plus searching is no longer unusably slow! Thank you! |

Any progress on communicating this to the Gentoo portage devs?

Thanks a lot for the cdb. I saw an obvious increase in portage updates (the 50%-54% slowdown).
Now I'd like to know: should I revert to the original portage behaviour (I probably won't now) would I also have to re-emerge all the packages I installed since I switched to cdb?

| Just switched over to this and it looks good so far. Although I have been happy with eix up until now, I have been frustrated by the slow speed of equery when searching for the files that belong to a package. Equery is much quicker now. |

| Actually, I take it back. "equery f" to find the contents of a package is much faster now, but "equery b" to find which package a file belongs to is still rather slow. It seems that there is no index in the database on the files. |

I apologize if this has been answered already in this thread, but I get this error when I try to run emerge metadata:
| Code: | Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 10, in ?
import portage
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7140, in ?
portdb=portdbapi(settings["PORTDIR"])
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 5125, in __init__
self.eclassdb = eclass_cache(self.porttree_root, self.mysettings)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4968, in __init__
self.dbmodule = self.settings.load_best_module("eclass_cache.dbmodule")
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1220, in load_best_module
return load_mod(best_mod)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 139, in load_mod
mod = __import__(modname)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_db_cdb.py", line 21, in ?
import cdb
ImportError: No module named cdb |
I think I read before that this is caused if the portage version installed is not recent enough. I have installed:
| Code: | curtis linux # emerge -V
Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.4.31-gentoo-r1 i586) |
[/code]
Does anyone know what version of portage is necessary?
Thanks,
Cappo |

I got the same error message - word upon word - as I had forgotten to emerge python-cdb.

It looks like I have python-cdb installed:
| Code: |
curtis matt # emerge -pv python-cdb
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I was able to get this working by upgrading to python 3.4 and re-emerging python-cdb. I don't know what the real problem was, but this seemed to fix it.

I don't know anything about python and so have no clue where to start looking ;(
Help!
Edit : after writing that i decided to look in the file on the off chance, and realised it was a mistake caused with a strange bug i'm experiencing with nano recently

I've made a module as noted in my last post to the "main thread". Unsupported though.. I won't be using it anymore.  |

| Just updated portage without realising it would break this, but the new version (2.1_pre1) seems to update the cache a lot faster, and even seemed a little quicker than this cdb module. No numbers though, sorry. |
