sys-kernel/linux-firmware: Speed up src_prepare code.

Building the list of files to remove in src_prepare() takes up to one minute on recent hardware, especially when the savedconfig file is fully populated. With more than 1800 files in the package, using a quadratic algorithm in bash is not such a good idea any more.

I am attaching a patch for the live ebuild, but the snapshot should be updated as well, e.g., with the next version bump.
Comment 1 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2019-05-20 14:59:34 UTC
Just cosmetic, and related to the previous commit to this package for bug 686288, but would

ebegin
find [...] || die
eend 0

not mess up output formatting?

ebegin
find [...]
eend $? || die

might preserve the output layout better.

Either way it looks good to me. Feel free to commit.

    sys-kernel/linux-firmware: Speed up src_prepare code.
    
    Building the list of files to remove could take up to one minute
    on recent hardware, because it used a quadratic algorithm in bash.
    Call grep instead, which is way faster.
