Howdy!
I have a suggestion: to significantly speedup the packaging phase
when installing ports, pass '-f tgz' flag to `pkg create`:
--- Mk/bsd.commands.mk (revision 400371)
+++ Mk/bsd.commands.mk (working copy)
@@ -126,7 +126,7 @@
PKG_DELETE?= ${PKG_BIN} delete -y
PKG_INFO?= ${PKG_BIN} info -g
PKG_VERSION?= ${PKG_BIN} version
-PKG_CREATE?= ${PKG_BIN} create
+PKG_CREATE?= ${PKG_BIN} create -f tgz
PKG_ADD?= ${PKG_BIN} add
PKG_QUERY?= ${PKG_BIN} query
This way, gzip will be used instead of default xz (which
is very slow). The extra compression of xz is not needed,
as the package file will be deleted shortly anyway.
Same idea applies to portmaster. Change
pkg_create="pkg create "
to
pkg_create="pkg create -f tgz "
on line 1916 of 'portmaster' script.
Ports install a lot faster this way, even on a machine with a fast CPU
(especially noticeable when doing portupgrade with lots of small ports).
Example. [root@soralx /usr/ports/science/paraview]# time make package
With xz:
===> Building package for paraview-4.3.1_1
real 1m41.120s
user 1m40.070s
sys 0m1.089s
With gzip:
===> Building package for paraview-4.3.1_1
real 0m15.931s
user 0m15.010s
sys 0m0.925s
Note that `make package` will still produce xz-compressed file after
the flag is added to "PKG_CREATE"; I changed the behaviour only for
this example, to demonstrate the time difference (factor of ~6.7).
