Hi all, Suse is having Hackweek VI [1] this week. My project this time will be to turn quilt into a noarch package [2]. The only part of quilt which needs to be built for the target arch is the backup-files helper, which accounts for about 6.8% of the total source code (not counting the build-related files; bash scripts account for 77.5% and perl scripts for 15.7%).
This has already been discussed in the past [3], in particular by Debian folks who have already been replacing backup-files by a bash implementation [4] in their quilt package. Obviously I will start from Martin Quinson's patch again, to which I will apply my own suggested improvements [5]. Then I plan to setup a performance test bench on several machines, testing several use cases, to evaluate the actual impact on performance. According to the previous discussions, performance is the real issue, and this is where I intend to invest my work time. I will post the results here once I have them.
