Ooh....VERY scary. Not where I want to go for a problem like this.
I'll wait for the developers to make that sort of thing part of the
baseline setup. I couldn't administer it if it broke.
Trust it, Mark, it works great! I've been using CDB for like 9 months now.
I've had only one problem with it (the recent python 2.3 to 2.4 upgrade, I
missed the fact that I was to run python-updater, so the CDB stuff was not
automagically upgraded on it's own).
It's very quick, EIX supports it, and it works like a charm.
I did this to a few of my servers and it works well. Then I did it to my
internal portage mirror. When my internal machine sync against it, it
runs very slow... I'm not overly surprised, but I'd like some
clarification on why that's happening. I suppose the fix would be two
separate copies of portage. One for the machine and one to serve out of
rsync that doesn't have the cdb stuff.
