Created attachment 175935 [details] v1
tried it on a few ports, does not seem to break stuff, let's try it for real.
Created attachment 175982 [details] v2 Switch to using find -E.
Created attachment 176023 [details] v3 Think about it and remove one find.
While you're hacking on COPYTREE_* can you take a look if bug 199550 can be fixed as well? Ignore if non-trivial.
Ah, that one is non trivial to fix. And I fought with it quite a bit before sending the update here. I think it best to document how to pass wildcards so that they work in the end.
Exp-run looks fine.
A commit references this bug: Author: mat Date: Wed Nov 9 12:14:47 UTC 2016 New revision: 425793 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/425793 Log: Optimize COPYTREE_* macros. The main problem slowing down those macros was that it was ending up calling chmod(1) once for each file and directory. It was doing this because it was running find(1) in the source tree and needed to chmod in the target tree, so it had to append the full path to the chmod(1) calls, which made it impossible to use -exec +. Rewrite the -exec calls to call sh and cd into it before running chmod(1) and do so on as many files as we can using the -exec + construct. While there, optimize a bit more after figuring out that it is possible to only use one find(1) to run two -exec for different options. Also switch to using the more powerfull modern regular expressions instead of the usual basic regular expressions by using find -E. This will allow the use of | which as no basic regular expressions equivalent (as in, for example, "*.(html|txt)") as well as the + and ? keywords, and back references. About the speed gain, I did a few tests, using time's builtin from csh (table with all the data available in the review), comparing the home baked versions of COPYTREE_SHARE found in ports, it boils down to: | version | www/sit (~2k) | www/mathjax (~30k) | +------------+------------------+--------------------+ | home baked | 0.032u 0.104s | 0.946u 7.446s | | current | 0.281u 0.649s | 5.446u 18.626s | | new | 0.024u 0.081s | 0.770u 7.012s | PR: 213614 Submitted by: mat Exp-run by: antoine Sponsored by: Absolight Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D8283 Changes: head/Mk/bsd.port.mk
