[pacman-dev] Speed again
by Nagy Gabor 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hi! I said my opinions about speed here in this mailing list already, I summarized this in the Frugalware mailing list: http://frugalware.org/pipermail/frugalware-devel/2007-January/003043.html http://frugalware.org/pipermail/frugalware-devel/2007-February/003197.html I implemented 4.) + a repo converter about one month ago and some group specific operations are much faster with this patch on my machine. But I'm disappointed now because I realized that 6.) is the real problem which we cannot do too much with. So I won't implement 1-5.) => this patch is worthless (and not the most optimal, because I wanted to do a proof of concept only and show how my ideas work, a deeper rewrite needed to radically speed up these parts of pacman); but you may find some interesting parts in it ;-) Bye, Nagy Gabor Summary: We can radically reduce hdd reading with these tricks except ldconfig :-(

[pacman-dev] Adding new users/groups
by Andrew Fyfe 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

What's the procedure for adding new system users/groups to the system. There's a lot of install scripts that add users/groups with specific ids, is there a list somewhere of all the names/ids used to stop 2 different packages from trying to use the same id? Andrew

[pacman-dev] ArchLinux Mirror
by Thomas S Hatch 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

I wanted to know what it takes to be included as a official mirror so we can use rsync.archlinux.org, I am from Southern Utah University and we just finished setting up our server, we have unlimited access to a 3 gig pipe so we will prove a wonderful asset for the project. -Thomas S Hatch

[pacman-dev] ldconfig
by Nagy Gabor 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hi! I tested dpkg with my friend and we noticed that ldconfig runs when needed. This should be implemented to pacman too. Bye, Nagy Gabor PS.: We found that pacman is not definitely slower than dpkg.
