Caching
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
The caching problems seem to be related to correct manipulation of
|
|
variables containing values with escaped metacharacters by the shell. The
|
|
current code only does partial caching, which doesn't cache "special"
|
|
arguments that contain escaped metacharacters or other oddly quoted values.
|
|
On certain platforms listed in _BLNK_CACHE_ALL in bsd.buildlink2.mk, we do
|
|
full caching, which has enormous speed benefits since it avoids an extra
|
|
sed invocation per "special" argument.
|
|
|
|
The test process for buildlink2 consists of building and installing:
|
|
|
|
shells/tcsh tests handling of specially-quoted arguments
|
|
devel/gettext-lib same as above, but uses libtool
|
|
x11/xearth tests imake wrapper
|
|
|
|
Full caching can be tested be adding ${MACHINE_PLATFORM} to _BLNK_CACHE_ALL
|
|
and performing the tests above, but only building the packages is needed.
|
|
|
|
Platform Working? Full caching?
