thanks for the bug report. this is actually a frustration I also have (though
not at the same scale).
let me see if I understand correctly:
- adequate registers in an adequate-specific cache (e.g. /var/lib/adequate/seen)
which {tag,package} pairs it outputs to the user
- on the very next run, adequate
- for any given package p that has been considered in this run for which:
- tag t is triggered, adequate:
- displays the tag and adds a cache entry if no such {p,t} cache entry
exists
- does not display the tag and maintains the {p,t} cache entry if it
exists
- tag t is not trigerred, adequate:
- removes the {p,t} cache entry if it exists
thanks,
