Hey guys, Can we move the determination of unique .install files inside the loop (see patch below). A few weeks ago I had troubles building koffice, now I had the time to look into it. It appears that due the vast number of splitted packages the install_files variable grew so large it was still not finished adding variables after 12 hours. Determining the uniqueness of the .install files inside the loop this doesn't happen anymore and it now finishes in a couple of seconds. I imagine this is also a problem with other splitted packages (most notably some kde ones?) Ronald path below is against current git version. --- /usr/sbin/makechrootpkg.old 2009-10-13 10:08:02.297306265 +0200 +++ /usr/sbin/makechrootpkg 2009-10-13 10:08:32.237724312 +0200 @@ -182,10 +182,9 @@ for pkg in ${pkgname[@]}; do install_files+=' ' install_files+=$(echo $install_files |sed "s/\$pkgname/$pkg/"|sed "s/\${pkgname}/$pkg/") + install_files=$(eval echo $install_files |tr '[:blank:]' '\n'|sort |uniq) done -install_files=$(eval echo $install_files |tr '[:blank:]' '\n'|sort |uniq) - for f in $install_files;do install="${f#"install="}" if [ "$install" != "" -a -f "$install" ]; then
