This is not an issue with the local system.

Re: pkg_add and pkgin install taking extremely long
Hi @all, Your timing is similar to what I had in some early tests. That said, have you measured what is the slow part? I bet it's the network, not specifically pkgin. meanwhile turned out it seems to be ipv6 related (somebody in irc gave me a hint on that). calling pkgin with -4 makes it *a lot* faster (pkg_add doesnt seem to have that switch). Also explicitly dropping ipv6 default route - now the job finishes in under 5mins. --mtx -- --- Hinweis: unverschlüsselte E-Mails können leicht abgehört und manipuliert werden !

A simple `pkg_add pkgin` runs for over a quarter hour, and pkgin install call took another half an hour, until it recognized a wrong parameter: I have experience with a similar setup, from setting up the NetBSD CI images for the Go project. Your timing is similar to what I had in some early tests. That said, have you measured what is the slow part? I bet it's the network, not specifically pkgin. I don't see timing information in the CI log -- you could wrap the pkgin calls with "time", or print timestamps before each command. Maybe you need to change something in the networking setup on the qemu side to get more throughput? There is no dmesg output in the log, so I would check if the network uses vioif, or an emulated interface. -- Benny
Re: pkg_add and pkgin install taking extremely long
All of That Sounds to be Correct to Me.
