- Caching
- =======
-
-The caching problems seem to be related to correct manipulation of
-variables containing values with escaped metacharacters by the shell. The
-current code only does partial caching, which doesn't cache "special"
-arguments that contain escaped metacharacters or other oddly quoted values.
-On certain platforms listed in _BLNK_CACHE_ALL in bsd.buildlink2.mk, we do
-full caching, which has enormous speed benefits since it avoids an extra
-sed invocation per "special" argument.
-
-The test process for buildlink2 consists of building and installing:
-
- shells/tcsh tests handling of specially-quoted arguments
- devel/gettext-lib same as above, but uses libtool
- x11/xearth tests imake wrapper
-
-Full caching can be tested be adding ${MACHINE_PLATFORM} to _BLNK_CACHE_ALL
-and performing the tests above, but only building the packages is needed.
-
-Platform Working? Full caching?
