Hmmm... I am afflicted by such attitude to our problem.

Did anybody use/test pkg_update_summary script?
Any feedback?

I shall give you some test results little bit later.
Now I rsyncing packages-2007Q2/NetBSD-4.0/i386/All
and after it I'm run your pkg_update_summary script.

The same question.

Is there anybody interested in pkg_summary.gz file
in pkgsrc binary repository?

I'm very interested in fast binary pkgsrc updates. It would be
very convenient to me to work with binary packages.

P.S.
pkg_chk -ub can also be speeded up if you use local binaries.
Patch is available here (the latest one)

O, It's nice. As I see from mailing lists and you PRs, you show a lot of
activity, I think it helps the project.
