RPM is headed towards multi-threaded installs.

One way to achieve parallelism would be to use OpenMP.

When looking at feasibility, I parallelized the loop over multiple digests
(not the digest algorithms per se which are nearly impossible to parallelize)
used by RPM and benchmarked rpm digest (which can run >100 digests
in parallel directly off of input/output buffers) and measured a 7x speed-up
on a 4-way.

Since a 7x speedup from a single #pragma is a quite remarkable gain,
I parallelized --verify to see how much gain might be achieved in a
non-artificial "real world" case. The results there were less impressive
(~1.5x faster from a primitive implementation, since improved to ~2x
back in Jabuary in rpm-5.4.0).

The refactoring cost to use OpenMP #pragma in RPM code would
be considerable, and so likely OpenMP will NOT be used when
RPM becomes multi-threaded.

So the "feature" provided by using OpenMP in 5.3.1 is that --verify
would run ~1.6x faster on SMP.

I personally wouldn't bother too much with OpenMP on FreeBSD based
on my experiences compiling and using RPM on Mac OS X, where attempting
to use GOMP and GCC is a rather rugged wilderness trek, paddling upstream and 
swatting
lots and lots of mosquitoes while trying to avoid more dangerous fauna.

YMMV of course ;-)

There used to be a bundled version, but now you use the regular BerkeleyDB. 
You'll need to add the matching flags, like 
CPPFLAGS+="-I${LOCALBASE}/include/db51" and LDFLAGS+="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib/db51"

You can use --disable-openmp, if you don't want OpenMP. The main issue with 
multi-processing is that you'll need to enable it everywhere, if you use it for 
something like BeeCrypt (where it increases performance)

I had not loaded berkely-db because I thought I had read somewhere that there 
was a bundled berkley-db with RPM5.  I have since loaded Berkley-DB 5.1.x from 
FreeBSD ports and was able to get the compile to move along further.

It failed later when attempting to link against libgomp which is not installed 
on the system.  I am planning to reconfigure disabling OpenMP, unless it 
provides a feature we might be able to utilize.  Can you clarify the features 
OpenMP provides to RPM5?

Find scripts/rpm2cpio.sh (its also on the web site).

Download the *.src.rpm and run

You will end up w 2 tar balls and one spec file jun the current directory.

I don't know how you installed, but

set_lk_max_objects  16384
mutex_set_max   163840

The heuristic (that I use) is that the mutex_set_max should be ~10x larger
than the other values, which is about the right scaling.

The size of the others depends on how many packages are managed,
which is an extrinsic quantity that isn't guessable a priori. 16K -> 64K are
about the right range, and conservative. There's likely something else
wrong if you appear to need >64K.

How did you build rpm? From CVS? rpm-5.4.1 or rpm-5.3.11?

I downloaded a source tarball for 5.3.4 and installed with the commands below 
after installing various ports  that appeared to be required.  The ports I 
installed were popt, beecrypt, pcre, gss, and expat.  Some of these ports had 
their own dependencies they installed.


You likely want to use the latest "production" rpm-5.3.11 release instead of 
rpm-5.3.4.
The @rpm5.org project does tick,tock monthly releases.

./configure —with-expat CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" 
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" LIBS="-lgss"
gmake
gmake install


How many packages do you have?


I currently do not have any RPM packages.  There are a couple hundred ports 
installed, but this should have no bearing on RPM.


OK. In order to use RPM on FreeBSD as an "add-on" you will almost certainly
need to supply some dependencies.

There are two ways to do this:

1) capture the usual provides (like /bin/sh) in a virtual package and
install that first.

2) stub-in dependencies as needed. E.g. you will almost certainly have
to provide "/bin/sh" somehow, which can be done like this
mkdir -p /etc/rpm/sysinfo
echo "/bin/sh" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Providename

You are likely to find that the two rules
1) Every file requires its parent directory
2) Every symlink requires its endpoint.
to be a bit bothersome as well. Stub those out in /etc/rpm/sysinfo
(or what ever path you have chosen) using
echo "/usr/bin" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Dirnames
echo "/path/to/endpoint" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Filelinktos




I'll include as much info as I can here, but it'll mean the length of this mail 
may be substantial.

The error I receive when I attempt to rpm –qa is:





#  Locking
set_lk_max_locks 8000
set_lk_max_lockers 8000
set_lk_max_objects 8000
mutex_set_max 8000


Try setting "mutex_set_max" to 8 not 8000.

I changed mutex_set_max to 8 and ran rpm –qa and it did not produce the 
original error.  Additionally, it appears to have created the __db files in 
/var/local/lib/rpm/.  This is a good start.

My next test is to attempt to build an RPM.  I am going with a very simple 
test, initially, which is to create a new /etc/motd.  When I run rpmbuild on 
the spec file, I get the following error.  Do you have any thoughts on this?

[root@freebsd /usr/local/src/rpm/SPECS]# rpmbuild -bb

I don't know how you installed, but

I don't know how you installed, but
make install
from a build SHOULD copy a /var/lib/rpm/DB_CONFIG into place.

The DB_CONFIG file is MANDATORY with @rpm5.org.

The contents (from the rpm-5_3 "production" branch) that pertain to locking 
tunables are

#  Locking
set_lk_max_locks16384
set_lk_max_lockers  16384
set_lk_max_objects  16384
