Am I doing something wrong or does,
# cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
# make
Take a staggering amount of scratch space with the meta-port approach?
It looks like each piece of the port is extracting its own copy of
X420src-1.tgz, X420src-2.tgz, or X420src-3.tgz or some combination
thereof. I was trying to build it on a system where I had WRKDIRPREFIX
pointed to a directory on a filesystem with over 500 MB of scratch
space and couldn't do it. Even trying to do it in pieces wasn't
working so I moved the WRKDIRPREFIX to a partition with more
space.
The final scratch space total,
$ du -sk $WRKDIRPREFIX
1482579 $WRKDIRPREFIX
About 1.41 GB. Whereas,
$ du -sk /usr/X11R6
102213 /usr/X11R6
Just under 100 MB.
I know X is a resource hog building and runtime, but was this aspect
of the new meta-port layout considered before it was committed? Sorry,
I can't offer any ideas how to improve on this within a meta-port
framework.
