Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to work on it, but you can have a look at the current code sans varexpand(); and other goodies. It currently generates the index without the depends fields, but make search works on it. The tarball: http://www.energyhq.es.eu.org/files/portsindexer.tar.gz Untar it and compile the program. Then set the PORTS_INDEX env variable to e.g. /tmp/INDEX and run the program. In its current embryonic state is needs about 1 minute to generate the (incomplete) INDEX, and is still i/o bound, so I'm pretty confident the needed time won't grow that much once the rest of the code is in there. I have some ideas about the pre-parsed mk files like I mentioned earlier and I'll probably cache dependencies in a hash table. I honestly don't know if it's fast or slow because I never user portindex, so I don't know how it compares. If portindex was equally fast maybe I'd consider implementing it in a higher level language (python/perl/ruby).
