Re: We need to do something about build times
Hi, Given the discussion about build times I decided test a handful of ports to see if we could reduce time spent just by converting to either CMake or Meson depending on what upstream offers. Hardware: Oracle VM, 4x Neoverse N1 cores, 24Gb of RAM Software: FreeBSD 14.0, Poudriere (devel) 3.4.99.20231211 archivers/zstd gmake --> meson audio/flac libtool --> cmake audio/opus gmake, libtool --> meson graphics/lcms2 libtool --> meson graphics/webp libtool --> cmake multimedia/libmediainfo libtool --> cmake multimedia/libzen libtool --> cmake multimedia/mp4v2gmake, libtool --> cmake net/libngtcp2 libtool --> cmake www/libnghttp3 libtool --> cmake www/libnghttp2 libtool --> cmake Makefile / Autotools [00:08:20] Built ports: www/libnghttp2 archivers/zstd multimedia/libzen graphics/tiff www/libnghttp3 ftp/curl audio/flac graphics/lcms2 graphics/webp multimedia/mp4v2 audio/opus net/libngtcp2 multimedia/libmediainfo [132aarch64-dev-default] [2023-12-17_12h42m54s] [committing] Queued: 13 Built: 13 Failed: 0 Skipped: 0 Ignored: 0 Fetched: 0 Tobuild: 0 Time: 00:08:18 CMake / Meson [00:05:16] Built ports: archivers/zstd www/libnghttp2 multimedia/libzen graphics/tiff www/libnghttp3 audio/flac ftp/curl graphics/lcms2 graphics/webp multimedia/libmediainfo multimedia/mp4v2 net/libngtcp2 audio/opus [132aarch64-dev-default] [2023-12-17_13h06m03s] [committing] Queued: 13 Built: 13 Failed: 0 Skipped: 0 Ignored: 0 Fetched: 0 Tobuild: 0 Time: 00:05:13 It may not be the most exact benchmark but results are reproducible. Keep in mind that this is more or less a free performance improvement without any hardware modifications. While some projects benefit more than others there might be cases where switching isn't possible without upstreaming changes but it's likely worth the effort in the long run as you in general see an improvment. I'd also like to remind people that while CMake and Meson can take a little while to build initially gmake and/or libtool also have their dependency chain so none are "free" and the difference is likely less than what you expect.

Fwd: Support for subpackages in the portstree is going to land soon!
-- Forwarded message - From: Luca Pizzamiglio Date: Sat, Dec 16, 2023 at 7:36 PM Subject: Support for subpackages in the portstree is going to land soon! To: developers Hi everyone. It's with pleasure that we are announcing that soon the portstree will support subpackages. Subpackage is the feature to create multiple packages from one port. There has been a lighting talk at EuroBSD 2023 ( https://youtu.be/e-FUYbGNdBg?t=824) introducing the topic. While this feature is used in many Linux distro to split packages (i.e. -docs, -srcs, -devel, -man or similar), this is *not* the intended goal we have. Our primary goal is to get rid of ports that are currently compiled separately in order to be packaged separately. Examples are php modules or qt libraries, currently using the so called master/slave port approach. Build time will benefit from it. The slave ports will become subpackages of the master port (we can keep the build optional via OPTIONS). This doesn't mean that all ports based on master/slave need to adopt subpackages, there will be situations where it won't be possible. We want to merge the feature in the framework now (end of the year), but adopt it in ports slowly over the next quarters. To limit the adoption, we will deploy a git hook server-side to request approval from portmgr before introducing subpackages for specific ports. While poudriere (3.4.x) already supports subpackages, other tools don't, and we want to give time to their maintainer to add support. The slow adoption will also allow us to catch problems one at a time and fix them. The patch is available for review here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D40549 This implementation is heavily based on mat@ (7 years) old implementation ( https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16457) We don't have documentation yet, but another patch ( https://reviews.freebsd.org/D43079) containing two fake ports, used to build and test this feature. They provide the best example of how subpackages would look like and they will be used to write the documentation. The roadmap * successful EXP-RUN to not introduce regressions ( https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275735#h0) * add a git hook server-side to allow only controlled adoption * merge the support of subpackages in the portstree (before 2023.12.31) * prepare and update the handbook * success! There will be a lot of questions, I will answer to all of them, but give me some time, I could be AFK from time to time during holiday season. Best regards, pizzamig on behalf of portmgr
Unmaintained FreeBSD ports which are out of date
Dear port maintainers, The portscout new distfile checker has detected that one or more unmaintained ports appears to be out of date. Please take the opportunity to check each of the ports listed below, and if possible and appropriate, submit/commit an update. Please consider also adopting this port. If any ports have already been updated, you can safely ignore the entry. An e-mail will not be sent again for any of the port/version combinations below. Full details can be found at the following URL: http://portscout.freebsd.org/po...@freebsd.org.html Port| Current version | New version +-+ cad/ifcopenshell| 0.6.0 | blenderbim-231217 +-+ If any of the above results are invalid, please check the following page for details on how to improve portscout's detection and selection of distfiles on a per-port basis: http://portscout.freebsd.org/info/portscout-portconfig.txt Reported by:portscout!
