It sounds like the PDB is reindexing itself.
Why does it empty the PDB before adding the new entries? If
Sourceforge's SQL server supports transactions, it's easy to do it
the right way, and even if it doesn't you could at least build a
temporary table to store them in.
We currently *do* use transactions to update the PDB. Here's the
pseudocode:
foreach distro ( 10.2-gcc3.3 10.3 10.4-transitional ) {
cvs update stable and unstable
dump package index as a file of SQL commands to update the PDB
update the PDB (in a single transaction: DELETE all old, INSERT new)
create file of SQL commands to set various flags (most recent, etc).
update the PDB (in a single transaction: UPDATE all flags)
So if you happen to hit after the distro INSERTs but before the flag
UPDATEs, for example, all pkgs may be in the PDB but none are marked
as most recent (since the distro DELETE wiped the old records).
The script runs via cron every 8 hours. Sometimes the scripts crash
(SF resource shortage), so happen to hit could be an 8-hour time
block (i.e., until the next run) if that's when it crashes. The script
diagnostics go to the fink-auto-logs mailing list (on SF, archived on
gmane) if you'd like to see the current state.
You're welcome to look in scripts/pdb and xml/web/pdb in fink CVS and
in my bin directory on SF's shell server to see the actual scripts
used, and improve upon them.

[Fink-devel] Vomiting record
Wow... I thought the one hundred thousand lines with not from earlier dynamic library in the gimp2 compilation output was a record. But kdelibs3-ssl-3.4.1-11 beats'em all by a wide margin. % grep accepting rule at line updateall_G21.log | wc 7293747 45386256 264142384 Seven million lines. Two hundred sixty-four megabytes.

[Fink-devel] Re: Giving up on ghc
With much tweaking of readline (installing a local readline instead of editline in /usr/local -- dunno why that mattered for fink) I was eventually able to get the darwinports version working. It relies on a bootstrap which is set up to look at the darwinports library locations, but those look like they are set by a shell script. Matthias' experimental info file also makes use of that bootstrap, but modifies it a little to make it work for the fink build process. As a matter of fact, I got GHC built with Matthias' experimental info file, by making 1 change to one of the bootstrap files. I'll try to see if i can put the change in the fink build process, and hope this will work for everybody. cheers, Remko --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Re: [Fink-devel] Re: Giving up on ghc
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 iirc, the biggest problem I had with the fink install looked like a second level namespace problem in gmp. With darwinports it was readline, but that was my own stupid fault as I had replaced apple's editline with readline in a particularly stupid way. When I rolled that back i was able to use the darwinports build. That build bootstraps on a 6.4 bootstrap tarball on haskell.org, which presumes darwinports library locations ( /opt/local ). A course of action may be to build a completely statically linked bootstrapper from the darwinports tree (ha!) and use that to bootstrap the fink build. I would volunteer to attempt this, but I know I won't have time for a while as I am pretty overbooked on work right now =( I'll play with it as I have spare moments, but cannot commit to getting anything done in a reasonable time (partly because I don't really know ghc that well, yet). - -Brian On Jun 26, 2005, at 4:42 PM, Corey Halpin wrote: On 2005-06-26, Brian McCallister wrote: With much tweaking of readline (installing a local readline instead of editline in /usr/local -- dunno why that mattered for fink) I was eventually able to get the darwinports version working.
