Subject: bug#66647: Installation of RPMs produced by ‘guix pack’ is super slow
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 12:20:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a5sdvblv.fsf@inria.fr> (raw)
Hello!
I made friends at work when I told them we could provide an RPM for any
modern package to install on their old RPM-based distro. :-)
However, installing those RPMs takes a lot of time. For example,
installing the RPM for ‘gmsh’ (closure: 596 MiB; thousands of files)
takes ~45mn.
Is there something about the metadata generated by (guix rpm) that could
be improved, or are we hitting some limitation of the RPM format or
implementation?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
