Looking for speed increases in make index and pkg_version for ports

2007-05-27 Thread Stephen Montgomery-Smith
I have been thinking a lot about looking for speed increases for make index and pkg_version and things like that. So for example, in pkg_version, it calls make -V PKGNAME for every installed package. Now make -V PKGNAME should be a speedy operation, but the make has to load in and analyze

Not quite what you asked for but... Given the size and complexity of the port system I have long felt that rather than do everything via more and more complex Mk/*.mk what is is needed is a ports server and a thin CLI frontend to it. This server can store dependency data in an efficient manner,

I'm looking for something that will work with the existing framework. But yes, I get the feeling that maybe using make to process the ports might be the source of the problem. Make is a program primarily designed for figuring out which was made first, the target or the source, but in the
