Hi, I just want to share some feedback, for fun I tried to convert some of the FreeBSD repositories to fossil to see how it performs
I first tried the FreeBSD Documentation repository, to go the easy way I took the FreeBSD git mirror (https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc and run git fast-export --full-tree --all | fossil import --git ../doc.fossil The worked pretty well, and I manage to convert in a few hour the repo, the result it very usable (that wasn't the case a few years ago, some operations where slow) Result is available here: https://fossil.etoilebsd.net/doc if some want to play. At the same time I decided to try with ports and base repository which I would have expected to be a bit more complicated I cloned: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd and https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports I run the same command for the conversion git fast-export --full-tree --all | fossil import --git ../ports.fossil both are now running for more than 70H and still not finished!!! consuming 100% CPU This is running on pretty descent hardware. hw.model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 V2 @ 3.20GHz I guess I would have to run a svndump imported manually if I want a slightly faster conversion to happen, and given how the incremental import works with fossil import --git I cannot imagine running a fossil mirror using that tool. If anyone has ideas on how I can maintain a mirror more easily, tips welcome Bapt _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
