Hi all, This is the result of my work on the bash reimplementation of backup-files. I started from Debian's rewrite, which is the first patch of the series. Then come a cleanup patch which removes the remnants of C, and 3 patches fixing compatibility issues with BSD (which were obviously not an issue for Debian, but are for us.)
Lastly there is a huge list of cleanup and performance improvement patches. I will provide real world and accurate numbers later, but as a quick summary, Debian's version was very slow (as in ~100 times slower than the C implementation when dealing with large file lists), while mine is only marginally slower (as in ~2 times), to a point where nobody will notice in practice. Almost all patches have already been reviewed by Raphael Hertzog, but I would welcome further reviews and comments. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
