I would like to propose a project aimed to improve ON build times. This can
live either under tools or under performance or under some other community.
There was some discussion about it a while ago in the context of Google summer
of code:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=33951
It may be a part of ONNV project, or something else if you think that some
other project/community is more suitable.
The goal of the project is to make our ON builds faster. This includes, but is
not limited to:
- Developing and running observability tools to understand existing problems
and find some low-hanging fruits
- Increasing build parallelism
- Taking advantage of new OpenSOlaris technologies like DTrace and ZFS.
- Cleaning up Makefiles (at least some major Makefile issues)
- Exploring some aggressive tricks and techniques to radically improve build
times
- Exploring various caching approaches.
The goal is to make builds fast enough for developers to be productive. This
is, probably, going to be an open-ended project.
