Since I've gone back to the "old foolproof way" of updating my system, I'm doing a "portsdb -Uu" again - which has always taken forever to run on my various machines. Is there a way to speed it up (without replacing it), or has anyone looked at it to see if it needs rewriting?
I worked at a place where a monthly mainframe job ran for 24 hours, and the whole plant had to shutdown while it ran (which wasnt too big a deal since it was on Sunday). When the job started taking 36 hours to run and the original programmer was too busy to fix it, they brought in a consultant to help. He re-wrote the job so it ran in 15 minutes. The original programmer was fired two days later. Since then, I've always been suspicous of jobs that run for long periods of time. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
