[Git][pacman/pacman][master] verify_signature: wait as long as possible before bailing

As this is often out of the packagers control, and it is better to verify a signature than not, we try bailing as late as possible and let makepkg warn about the expired signature.

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] manually apply --sysroot to configuration

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: 7016adcb by Andrew Gregory at 2024-02-19T09:20:16+10:00 manually apply --sysroot to configuration The previous chroot-based sysroot often broke due to glibc's delayed loading for much of its functionality when the sysroot did not contain compatible copies of the necessary libraries. This approach instead manually prepends the sysroot to all configuration paths.

[PATCH] download smallest files first but always use one parallel job to download large files concurrently
by Thomas Reichel 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

When downloading small files the download time seems dominated by connection latency rather than bandwidth. Downloading several small files in parallel is an effective way to reduce the impact of latency. However, downloading many small files in parallel does not always saturate bandwidth, which is inefficient. This commit attempts to fully utilize parallelism to download small files while maintaining high bandwidth utilization. This is accomplished by downloading the smallest files first using all but 1 parallel connection while downloading a large file using the remaining parallel connection. The result seems to maintain a more stable download speed throughout entire transactions. This is in contrast to the usual behavior I observed when downloading many packages, where the download speed progressively declines as smaller packages are downloaded. When my entire cache is deleted and all packages are redownloaded using ` pacman -Qqn | sudo pacman -Sw -`, the mean download speed is 47.8 MiB/s. After this patch, the mean download speed is 54.0 MiB/s. In terms of time savings, this patch causes a 14.9 GiB download to go from 5 minutes 20 seconds to 4 minutes 43 seconds on my system and network. Your mileage may vary on different systems, networks, and selections of packages. I expect there to be virtually no effect on selections of packages that are all fairly large.

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] libmakepkg: skip stripping guile-2.2 files
by Allan McRae (＠allan) 16 Feb '24

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: 48729f8e by Allan McRae at 2024-02-15T23:34:05+00:00 libmakepkg: skip stripping guile-2.2 files Guile 2.2 uses ELF format for its byte-compiled files. These are not normal executables, and are not strippable in the normal sense. Given these are ELF files and detected by "file" as non-stripped binaries, it is only possible to skip these using the file path.
