With the refuse, you have removed some modules that the program needs to build a complete, new version. Since all you are refusing is the structure files and patches, you really don't save that much space. FWIW, if you use fetchindex to download a new INDEX, you don't have to spend a lot of resources building a new index. I timed make fetchindex and found the following. #time make fetchindex INDEX.bz2 100% of 612 kB 83 kBps 0.976u 0.048s 0:08.87 11.3% 146+4723k 1+52io 0pf+0w The 8.87 seconds included the time required to download and unbzip2 INDEX.bz2 into INDEX.
