![]() To be honest when I read the subject of this thread, I thought you had implemented *faster* dependency calculations, because that’s the big problem of emerge IMO!īut otherwise if your system can be made faster than emerge, it would be great :).īut otherwise if your system can be made faster than emerge, it would be great. Of course, this solver can be improved in many ways, and comments, tests, and suggestions will be welcome and very useful. If a package is installable, our solver will find a solution, and if it is not, it can tell why (with an ugly syntax, sorry). Our new dependency solver is slower than the one of emerge and has far fewer functionalities (it is a prototype), but never fails: For instance, trying to install gnome-base/gnome only following emerge's advices (without looking at the documentation ) will only clutter the e file. Indeed, in some cases, emerge might not find a solution to an installation problem and give bad advice on how to continue. This prototype is implemented in python 2.7 and available here: Įmerge is an amazing tool, highly optimized and all, but has one default: it can (rarely) fail. ![]() I am very happy to announce that few colleagues and I implemented the prototype of a new dependency solver for emerge Posted: Sat 7:25 pm Post subject: Alternative dependency solver for Portage (a prototype) Gentoo Forums :: View topic - Alternative dependency solver for Portage (a prototype)Īlternative dependency solver for Portage (a prototype)
