Re: [pacman-dev] needless ldconfig

That is terrible, that pacman does ldconfig always. A NOLDCONFIG flag would be nice (and easy to implement) somewhere in .PKGINFO. These solution would be compatible with older packeges (because ldconfig is still the default), however we can radically speed up for example -R in the case of packages where no ldconfig is needed.

CMIIW, but wouldn't adding an extra check be slower? I mean, most packages need an ldconfig anyway. In most cases, the ldconfig would be necessary, in which case the check for ldconfig would make it slower -- Alex Smith Frugalware Linux developer - http://www.frugalware.org
