I guess, config I haven't really noticed any issues with it from a speed point of view (too busy noticing it not working when I add packages) so I didn't think about a C version. That update-alternatives thing on the other hand I have definately been thinking about redoing in C when I get a chance - it's painfully slow. But yeah, it should be pretty trivial to do populate-volatiles in C and that would remove the need for the cache thing altogether. For now I'm probably more concerned with fixing the things that are broken then making things work faster ;) -- Jamie Lenehan
