.SH EXPENSIVE FIND REPO
.PP
A slower yet more accurate version of the internal find_repo function used to detect
whether a package is present in an upper repo can be accessed by setting the
\fBEXPENSIVE_FIND_REPO\fR variable.\& Using it will cause time needed to process an APKBUILD
to jump from miliseconds to seconds and is not recommended if providing feedback to the
user in a timely manner is required (like running this as a vim ALE plugin).\&
