gst-plugins.eclass-speedup.patch
here's the patch. i've tested it on -oss, -mad and -vorbis. still testing
the
other plugins
oh right.. sorta forgot about this one, devs please test this local for a while. well, committed now. its been tested for about 2 months now. works fine for me except for my local gst-plugins-ffmpeg, which i have an ebuild for, if you really want. but i'm only using it to do my own private stuff. probably useful for gst-player so you can watch mjpegs, but thats a whole other discussion. |
I've been playing around with speeding up gst-plugins-* by removing the generation of unneccessary Makefiles. Attached is the patch to gst-plugins.eclass. I'm putting this on bugzilla because it needs to be reviewed (foser ;), and i'm not comfortable applying it without more testing. Basically, it looks for (ext|sys)/${GST_PLUGINS_BUILD_DIR} and then munges configure to just generate Makefile, sys|ext/Makefile and sys|ext/${GST_PLUGINS_BUILD_DIR}/Makefile. The first two possibly even be omitted, but at least it reduces the number of generated Makefiles from like 138 to 3.
