Debian packages

I've been meaning to upload a pike7.8 package to unstable for some time, but first I want to fix the set of binary packages, among them the metapackages. There are currently two - pike7.8, which depends on a smaller set of modules, and pike7.8-full, which pulls in all the module packages there are. The actual pike binary and core modules are in pike7.8-core. I think one metapackage should be enough, and some people have complained about Debian that when they apt-get install foo, they don't get foo (what they would get by downloading the source and running ./configure && make && sudo make install) but a "recommended subset" or just the main binary, but not the documentation, development files, or optional modules. The main reason that many of the Pike modules are put in separate packages is that they together add a large number of dependencies. Contrast with Perl and Python, where such things as GTK2+ bindings are separate projects. My plan for simplifying things while catering to various wishes is to * remove pike7.8-full * let pike7.8 Recommend all other packages. That way everything will be installed if you run apt-get install pike7.8 unless you have switched off automatic installation of recommended packages, but it's still possible to opt out of individual packages.

If I understand the convention right, it should now comply.

Compiling mappings
by Martin Nilsson (Opera Mini - AFK!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 01 Jun '10

Something is horribly unoptimized when compiling mappings. I did some data processing and wrote out the resulting mapping with sprintf %O into a text file, resulting in some 40,000 entries. I then created a file like this mapping m= #include "stat.txt" ; void main() { } and started it. Since it took a long while to execute I wrote this while waiting void main() { mapping m = ([]); foreach(Stdio.File("stat.txt")->line_iterator();;string line) { int a,b; if( sscanf(line, "%*s%d: %d", a,b)==3 ) m[a] += b; } } which ended up taking real 0m0.222s user 0m0.208s sys 0m0.008s I have now stopped the first program, which didn't yet terminate. It looked like this just before I stopped it. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7962 nilsson 20 0 1264m 1.2g 792 R 100 61.8 974:54.12 pike
