Hi Doug,
I'd like to raise a couple of nits with portmaster (primarily a wish
for more configurability):
1) In v3.0, you added code to nice(1) all make(1) invocations. In some
cases, the default niceness does not suit me (in particular, I'd often
prefer '0' to '10'). Would it be possible to add an option to control
the priority?
2) In v3.6, you added a "find $WRKDIRPREFIX ..." to the cleanup. For
various reasons, I have _lots_ of unrelated stuff under that tree and
so the find(1) takes an unacceptably long time to run. It would be
nice to restrict that search to $WRKDIRPREFIX${.CURDIR} and have an
option to disable it completely.
Neither is likely to happen. :) I may however remove 1, it didn't
really help much, if at all. As for 2, my suggestion is to have a
WRKDIRPREFIX for development stuff, and a different one for portmaster.
It's pretty easy to do with a make.conf knob searching for whether
UPGRADE_TOOL is set to "portmaster." I have such a thing which I can
send you if you really need me to, but I'm not booted into FreeBSD right
now so I don't have it close to hand.
BTW, the reason I'm not amenable to your suggestion in 2 is that only a
few developer-types actually care about this, and that doesn't justify
the code complexity. Just be thankful I didn't go with my first
instinct, which was to 'rm -rf $WRKDIRPREFIX' :)
hth,
Doug
