Package: texlive Version: 2005-2 Severity: wishlist
Not really a bug, only a performance problem. Therefore, whishlist status. I noticed that when installing several texlive packages, (dist-upgrade, or first-time install) then the rather slow updmap-sys runs over and over and over. It runs for every package that might need it. This alone make dist-upgrade noticeably slower. Contrast this to how update-menus works. update-menus is postponed until everything is installed, then it runs once. Perhaps a similiar mechanism could be used for updmap-sys and mktexlsr, saving some time? Even more sad: uninstalling all of texlive runs updmap-sys and mktexlsr for quite a few of the packages as they go, and the effort is totally wasted as in the end there is nothing left. Nort so much of a problem as one don't uninstall over and over. But if a dealyed updmap-sys is implemented for dist-upgrades, then it could be used on uninstall as well. Helge Hafting -- Package-specific info: If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries (latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures! If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem), you can probably minimize it further.
