Hi everyone,
A while back, I wrote a python wrapper for install to preserve xattrs.
Its installed in LIBDIR/portage/bin/install.py. It is *painfully* slow.
For a package like moodle with 16650 .php files, none of which
probably need any xattr's set, it takes about 30 mins to install. I
rewrote the wrapper in C. Replacing the python wrapper with the C
wrapper, the same example reduces from about 30 mins to 2 mins.
Mike and I did some back and forth about how best to write it. The
latest version is pretty much done at
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465000#c56
We need to get that integrated into portage. 1) I'm not 100% sure how
to do that. 2) We may want to install it at /usr/bin/install-xattr
because I'm sure it will be useful for more than just portage.
