Jeremy, > I don't think so, because you still have to wait for the databases to be > rebuilt, before you can use portversion. But since you will typically be cvsup'ing, building, updating dbs and such during `off hours', ie. not sitting in front of the terminal waiting for it to finish, the db rebuilds don't take any important time. I do it like this[1] I was surprised by your timing results: > # time portversion -l "<" > 3.127u 0.653s 0:08.02 47.0% 22+9776k 1003+0io 0pf+0w > # time pkg_version -l \< > 29.930u 11.442s 0:49.49 83.5% 327+540k 1093+0io 63pf+0w On my two FreeBSD boxes with up-to-date ports and built indices (portsdb -Uu; pkgdb -u), I get quite the opposite results: PII-266, 384MB, ports on old 4.5GB UW SCSI disk, 4.9-RC[2]: # time portversion -l "<" real 0m15.162s, user 0m6.556s, sys 0m1.407s # ttime pkg_version -l \< real 2m24.996s, user 1m45.382s, sys 0m28.736s P4-1700, 384MB, ports on newish 20GB ATA-5 disk, 5.1p10[3]: # time portversion -l "<" real 0m5.528s, user 0m1.027s, sys 0m0.407s # time pkg_version -l \< real 0m23.175s, user 0m10.967s, sys 0m7.034s > Result: The 'my' way is a winner, easier and quick. :-) So what is the major difference between your setup and mine? > But, I don't know how it will make the difference if I have the 9,000 > packages installed. 231 installed on the PII, 188 on the P4, all built from ports.
