Dear all, A quick update on revdeprun, the Rust CLI tool for automating reverse dependency checks that I shared here two months ago. This release tackles three real-world bottlenecks I ran into when pushing things to scale: more aggressive binary install scheduling, faster source tarball preparation, and parallel source tarball downloads. Together, these substantially reduce the setup overhead before checks actually start. To sanity check, I reran a full revdep check of 1732 data.table reverse dependencies on a 256-core instance. The setup phase completed in about 56 minutes, and the actual checking phase finished in 1 hour 48 minutes, for a total cloud cost of roughly $24. As always, feedback and ideas are very welcome.
