webapp-config 1.11 takes a long long time to install/upgrade gallery-2.0 (and maybe other things). Creating directories takes around 5 minutes and linking files takes on the order of an hour! This has to be a bug of some sort. I'm using gentoo-sources 2.6.7 on an AMD 900MHz. Old architecture, I know, but still! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gallery 2. use webapp-config to install 3. wait Actual Results: A loooooooooooooooooooong wait Expected Results: I short wait
This is really CANTFIX until webapp-config is rewritten from scratch...
Will that rewrite happen? What are the plans for it? Into perl, python or such? Need help?
The ebuild for the python version is available at http://www.gunnarwrobel.de/gentoo/net-www.html#webapp-config I am already using the new version but it might still have some bugs. Feel free to test it, I am happy about any bug reports.
As Gunnar said, we're working on it. Here's a preview of what's to come: $ time emerge =gallery-2.0.1 <snip> real 3m39.900s user 1m34.233 sys 0m27.388s This is on a P3 733MHz, which previously took >1 hr to install gallery. Stay tuned.
It's not a bug - it's a consequence of having written the first version in bash. I've added webapp-config v1.50 to Portage. It is a rewrite in Python, and performs much better as a result. Best regards, Stu
Excellent work. v1.50 works one million times faster. Less than a second, literally.
