Hmm, That doesn't entirely shock me. a p2-400 will take longer on the xml import. There may be some ways to cache that but, it's unfortunately the nature of the beast. However, once the metadata is loaded the depresolution should be much faster and it's memory footprint considerably smaller. run in debug mode 4 and you'll see two numbers print out right before and after the dep resolution. Those will be start and end times on the dep resolution functions. > Seth: Attached is a quick patch to make --help's output more consistent and > 80 columns friendly. > I've only tried updating, asking for a non-existing package and creating an > rss file... all worked fine. > Thanks matthias. -sv
