You are right about invoking make being the problem. However, I was
able to
increase the performance of package-depends by 20 to 30 percent, by
avoiding
recursive make calls and moving the recursion into the stack of the
shell
invocation.
With my changes there's less than 10% overhead over the sum of make
calls. I.e.
for 56 seconds of make calls (x11/xorg on my system) there are only
4 more
seconds of processing, instead of 15 to 20 seconds.
The original make package-depends does some things I don't
understand. Once
I've figured them out I will post my little patch here.
Someone pointed out that what I was proposing in +DEPENDENCIES is
already to be found in +CONTENTS. So here is a proof of concept patch
to /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk (proof of concept because no error
checking, and things like that).
For me it makes registration about 3 times faster.
And also, the only reason it goes slow is because it has to do
(cd $$dir; make -V PKGNAME)
for every dir in _LIB_RUN_DEPENDS. But if instead we kept a file in
/var/db/pkg called something like +PACKAGE_NAMES, where as each port is
created we add in a one line entry with this mapping of origin to
package name, then registration would take less than a second. It also
has the advantage that the created +REQUIRED_BY really would be an
accurate reflection of the true state of affairs rather than what it
should be (meaning that if you cvsup ports and then build on top of old
dependencies, +REQUIRED_BY would still be accurate).
