[pacman-dev] parallel compression in makepkg
by Alf Gaida 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Imho this could (should) be an experimental feature, turned on/off in makepkg.conf. I have modified my packagers and now using pigz instead of gzip and pxz instead of xz for a year without glitches and errors. I think, both ways are simple and reliable, i prefer to change the tools and leave pacman and makepkg untouched. And it speeds up compressing and decompressing a lot on my AMD 965 ;)

Since then, we have switched to the archive backend and now fast parsing is a big deal. The former function made a per-character call to the libarchive archive_read_data() function, which resulted in some 21 million calls in a typical "load all sync dbs" operation. If we instead do some buffering of our own and read the blocks directly, and then find our newlines from there, we can cut out the multiple layers of overhead and go from archive to parsed data much quicker. Both users of the former function are switched over to the new signature, made easier by the macros now in place in the sync backend parsing code. Performance: for a `pacman -Su` (no upgrades available), _alpm_archive_fgets() goes from being 29% of the total time to 12% The time spent on the libarchive function being called dropped from 24% to 6%. This pushes _alpm_pkg_find back to the title of slowest low-level function.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg: escape closing bash array paren for awk
by Dave Reisner 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

The closing parenthesis of bash arrays needs to be escaped in the ending address of awk expressions in order to play nicely with implementations of awk other than gawk. This change provides compatibility with gawk, nawk and mawk.

[pacman-dev] makepkg and (n)awk
by Nezmer 26 Dec '10

Hi, In commit ef977865, awk was added as an external tool needed by makepkg. As you know, there is different awk implementations out there. nawk is the implementation shipped by default in non-GNU systems As far as I know. Unfortunately, awk usage in makepkg is not nawk-compatible. Command: %gawk '/^[[:space:]]*provides=/,/)/' B | sed "s/provides=/provides_list+=/" Output: provides_list+=('p1' 'p2' '3') # comment Command: % awk '/^[[:space:]]*provides=/,/)/' B | sed "s/provides=/provides_list+=/" Output: awk: illegal primary in regular expression ) at source line number 1 context is >>> /^[[:space:]]*provides=/,/)/ <<< ====================== Anyway, what is awk doing here? Is it the same as: egrep '^\s*provides=$.*$'
