is this psychosomatic, or was there a ridiculous speed increase in the general speed of portage with this update?
someone must have been doing some python voodoo, methinks. |

Bad ebuild I'm afraid- initial ebuild that got commited was just a revbump lacking installing of pym subdirs (bad thing), that was corrected sometime last night (window of 30-60 minutes or so), corrected a nasty emerge --metadata trigger that was sitting in postinst earlier today also...
So... should be good to go. |

I feel like I'm seeing a dramatic speed up too. I'm watching modular X.org upgrade to RC4 (73 packages in this world update) and everything is just going so much more quickly: the patching, the installing, the removing old versions of packages... and the elog support is really nice too. |

How about equery, does that speed up too?

They are faster than equery on reiser4 with -omg-optimized CFLAGS.

Is there a version considered "most stable" (for a pre version)?

Just to let others know, when I tried it with python cdb it gave an error.

I'm confirming that the python-cdb hack doesn't work anymore.

eix is dead too. Reports garbage instead of the homepage and description.

What about esearch (app-portage/esearch), equery (app-portage/gentoolkit), q (app-portage/portage-utils)?

This is a workaround I had to implement when I switched to ~x86 2.0.53, but it may work here.
Add the line PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD=none to /etc/eixrc:
| Code: | | # echo "PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD=none" >> /etc/eixrc |
Afterward, you will definitely need to do another update-eix (you might need to run emerge --metadata before that).
Yes, this means that eix will take longer to build its database after each emerge --sync, as it no longer uses its cache and has to build the database from scratch every time. Eix upstream needs to update their code, but it looks like development has stopped...

To be expected (now people may see why we consider eix as broken by design)

esearch and equery should work as usual, don't know what interfaces portage-utils are using but I'd guess they still work. |

I can confirm esearch and portage-utils still work.
The greatest feature hasn't been mentioned yet: | Code: | PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="info warn error log"
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save mail"
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="amne@gentoo.org amne:SEKRIT@mailrelay.tugraz.at:100025" |
Thanks guys for that one.

Will take some time, a wild guess would be 3-4 months (that's really just a guess, not even an estimate). |

I also noticed this version of portage notices if no ebuild is present and complains about it. So masking/removing stuff from the tree makes sense now.
