Subject: [gentoo-soc] Distfile patching support - Weekly report #9
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2011 18:09:26 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHgY3qfWkT2_ihnPdDaBNUaGKHfjE8A2Dp9nZvOMwyoF1CyR6w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
Quick summary: Improve the performance of the Gentoo Linux mirrors by
reducing the overall bandwidth load, allowing people to fetch binary
patches from the mirrors, instead of the full source tarballs, when
updating some package. This project is partially based on GLEP 25.
The project is on schedule.
== Progress ==
Last week I got a basic Portage patch working, and I can finally
install packages from reconstructed tarballs. It needs some fine
graining and improvements, though.
I'm also writing a helper tool, called distpatchq, inspired by
portageq, that will provide info about the deltas and distfiles to the
package managers willing to implement distfile patching support.
== Next steps ==
Finish the Portage patch improvements and send the patch for review.
Finish distpatchq helper tool.
Create a package for the distpatch helper tools and publish it.
Best Regards,
--
