Hello!

Is it normal that every time I try to do a "make search" in /usr/pkgsrc, 
then it starts with:

$ make search key=something
Extracting complete dependency database.  This may take a while...
....................................................................................................
100
......

... and this goes for more than two hours. I somehow guessed that it 
would do it the first time only, and then use the cached index for 
searching. I also explicitely called "make index", which did the same 
processing, but then "make search" started it all over next time.

So, is there a way at all to have pkgsrc cache the dependency database 
once created, and use that for searching?

thx
