Now that setup.exe supports perpetual postinstall scripts, I'd like to
streamline the TeX Live postinstall process. I'm attaching two perpetual
postinstall scripts that I'd like to use (one before the ordinary postinstall
scripts and one after), as well as four cygport patches.
With these changes, I was able to reduce the total postinstall time for a
complete TeX Live install from 48 minutes to 14 minutes on my system.
Here's a summary of the changes and the reasons for them.
1. The most time-consuming command in the current postinstall process is
mktexlsr, which is run many times. The proposed changes reduce this to one
call, at the beginning; all remaining postinstall commands keep the ls-R files
up to date at minimal cost.
2. Another somewhat time-consuming command is updmap. Each call (even just to
enable or disable a map) takes at least 2-3 seconds. If several maps are
enabled/disabled at once, there's no noticeable increase in time. The proposed
changes use just one call to updmap to enable all maps.
3. Similarly, there are a lot of unnecessary calls to fc-cache. I've reduced
that to a single call, at the end.
I'm open to suggestions as to better ways to do all this.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] prep_texlive: group enable/disable commands in calls to
updmap
In postinstall scripts we remove the updmap calls completely and
instead create a file of commands in /etc/texmf/postinstall, to be run
by a perpetual postinstall script. In preremove scripts we just group
the commands into a single call to updmap, since setup.exe doesn't yet
support perpetual preremove scripts.
