./pkgtools/mktool, High performance alternatives for pkgsrc/mk

[ Image CVSweb ] [ Image Homepage ] [ Image RSS ] [ Image Required by ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.5.10, Package name: mktool-1.5.10, Maintainer: jperkin

This is a highly-performant collection of utilities that provide
alternate implementations for parts of the pkgsrc mk infrastructure.

Many targets under pkgsrc/mk are implemented using a combination of
shell and awk, and can suffer from a lack of performance, especially
when the number of input files grows significantly.

The replacement tools provided by mktool can be anywhere from 5 times
up to 500 times faster than the defaults.

To enable, install this package or 'cargo install mktool', and then
add the following lines to your mk.conf:

TOOLS_PLATFORM.mktool= /path/to/mktool

pkgsrc will then use mktool for all targets where it is supported.

Log message:
mktool: Update to 1.5.3.

This release switches to using openssl on appropriate platforms to be
consistent with pkgsrc norms.  Users may still build using the default features
to get a more portable binary that bundles the webpki-roots and provide a tool
that is useful for bootstrapping.

Main change since 1.4.2 is that 'mktool fetch' now uses temporary files and
atomic renames, and is the only fetch tool for pkgsrc that currently avoids
checksum mismatches when pbulk or bob start simultaneous builds that use the
same distfile.

Tested in a full from-scratch bulk build.
