What I realized after adding the > fifth patch to my portupgrade port was that I could never beat the vim > port! :) Is there a better way we can handle this general case of "A whole bunch of patches"? Running 270 invocations of fetch(1), EACH of which sets up a connection, pulls down <5k of data, and tears down, is painful as hell (for the CLIENT, and I can't see how it's terribly healthy for the server either). On my dialup, it takes 4-10 seconds for each patch, of which MAYBE 2 seconds is data transfer. Ideally, of course, I'd learn toward ".tar.gz all the damn things together and cut the total size by 3/4" or something, but I can see how that could become a management nightmare. Is there anything we can do to the overall build infrastructure to allow fetching a set of files in a SINGLE connection, instead of doing them all individually? Can fetch(1) be taught to handle globs or wildcards, as a possibility? -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
