dCore-wheezy for x86 now posted.

[Jason W]

Ok, I have adjusted the dependencies and x11-utils should now be part of any xorg setup.

[Jason W]

Updated, please test.

Import and load the "sed" package for better performance during import.

Ok, there is something with the /opt/debextra routine, I will aim to fix it.

Could you post the names of your /opt/debextra entries and their contents, as well as what package you are trying to import?

[jls]

unfortunately my mydata.tgz got corrupted here in the main biblioteque of marsleille france, mydata corruption happen quite frequently due to (d)core philosofy, so I've lost my debextras

[netnomad]

hi jls_legalize,

your last statement is very easy misunderstood...

kind regards.

[Jason W]

JlS - please open a new thread with more information for the mydata.tgz corruption.  I have not seen any curruption myself, and the backup function is the same as Core.

[Jason W]

Updated, reverting to using grep for the md5 and dependency routines, sed no longer used.  Turns out I went around my elbow to get to my ear on that one, though grep itself can't search until next new line, a simple grep trick can.

Hi
so "grep" should be imported for better performances?

[Jason W]

Yeah, importing grep will greatly improve performance during dependency and md5sum gathering.

[Onyarian]

Excuse me, but "grep" is not part of the core?, if it is, why is interesting to import it? or, is because it's into busybox?

[Jason W]

Busybox grep in the dependency gathering routine will read between 1 and 2 packages per second.  GNU grep will give you about 10 or 15 dependencies a second, almost 10 times faster.  I believe GNU grep caches the file it is reading in RAM so it does not need to pull it from the disk on subsequent reads.  Busybox grep will be used unless grep is imported which then by default GNU grep will be called on.  The md5sum functions in deb2sce and debGetSize also show the same performance increase with an imported grep, so it is quite a time difference overall.

Below is an actual comparison of the two greps, each ran twice to eliminate cache factor.

[Onyarian]

Good, so clearly explained.

Thanks

[Jason W]

Actually, using the time command in deb2sce on the debGetDeps function, I clocked 22 dependencies per second so the performance increase is substantial indeed.
