Hi everyone,
I've just committed a tonload of bugfixes into theedge. Since we're
hoping to include these in the ISO we hope some of you can jump in and
test out the behaviour of this modified core. here's an exerpt from the
commit log:
Fixes for:
- dependency sorting algorithm, completely rewritten from scratch,
implemented using a depends.cache file which speeds up all dependency
work immensely. The time needed to create the cache might still be a
little long tho (2:30 uncached on my box). sorting time for entire
moonbase is about 2:30 now, mostly spending in the fgrep. sorting time
on 400 modules is < 30 seconds.
- double questions removed
- moonbase index creation is now more atomic than it was, it's generated
in a tmpfile, then pivoted to the real location, same for depends.cache
(crtl-c in the creation will not damage it)
- lrm fix that caused files in /boot to be deleted. as far as I can see
this was still an TODO left open by kongar&&those-before-him (ouch).
tested and works.
- added $DEPENDS_CACHE var in etc/lunar/config
to help out, do a 'lin theedge' after Mar 8 00:00 UTC and try the
following commands:
lin moonbase
lin theedge
lunar renew or lunar update
lunar fix
lunar rebuild
also interesting could be any of the other commands, including their use
from within the 'lunar' utility (the menu driven parts).
please let me know if anything is not as should be.
