Adelie - fast replacement for equery

[millimille]

Hi!

Fquery (formerly Adelie) is a fast replacement for equery that I've been developing for a while. It's written in Haskell and you will need GHC to compile it.

Please test it out and tell me what you think.

The latest version is 0.2 and is available at:
http://home.exetel.com.au/tjaden/fquery/

edit: correct url

Moved from Portage & Programming to Unsupported Software.

I forgot to mention that I've assumed the location of two directories:

1) portage tree is in /usr/portage
2) installed package database is in /var/db/pkg

The first is needed to find use.desc and use.local.desc, and maybe some other things.

I know the first can be changed in make.conf, but I don't know about the second.

Anyway, if anyone needs to change either of them, the variables are in Adelie/Portage.hs.

You can use portageq to get these directories.

wow this thing is way fast. i tested first by running adelie first, then equery to give equery the possible caching benefit.

listing files from package
time adelie f ffmpeg
real 0m0.015s
user 0m0.002s
sys 0m0.005s

time equery f ffmpeg
real 0m0.837s
user 0m0.427s
sys 0m0.040s
---------------------------
time adelie f qt
real 0m0.261s
user 0m0.051s
sys 0m0.011s

time equery f qt
real 0m0.903s
user 0m0.532s
sys 0m0.060s
----------------------------
calculating deps (i can't find an equivalent in equery - there is an option for whole deptree but adelie just lists direct deps) is insanely fast.
time adelie dd mplayer
real 0m0.010s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m0.001s
----------------------------
looking for packages installed with specific use flag.note that equery is checking the same package right after adelie, so there might be some caching involved in the favor of equery.

Just released v0.2. Changes include:

• proper changelog output
  
• don't abort if CONTENTS, USE, etc, files are missing
  
• --no-colour option
  
• long commands
  

Also, it will automatically set the portageTree and portageDB directories at compile time (uses /usr/bin/portageq).

Finally, there's been a name change to just plain Fquery.
