Package: darcs-buildpackage
Version: 0.5.8
Severity: normal
After downloading and renaming an upstream tarball I used dbp-importorig
to create the 'upstream' repository. Program started with a flurry of
disk activity and printed
trader:Packages$ dbp-importorig Io_2006-10-05.orig.tar.gz io 2006-10-05
TLACMD: darcs
There followed seven (!) minutes of radio silence with no output to
to the console and no disk activity. Ran top and found user near 100%.
Finally it printed:
LOGTEXT Imported Io-2006-10-05
into Darcs repository
The contents of io.upstream look reasonable.
Since this is an interactive process, it would be much better if the
program printed useful output like most system tools do, e.g. compilers,
configure, version control like svn, cvs, etc. I killed dbp-importorig
a couple of times thinking it had hung, and even strace -f output hangs.
What's it doing all that time? Since the upstream dir is new, all we're
really doing is unpacking, initing darcs, and tagging. The tarball is
about 5 MB; source for a language.
Finally, it left a directory behind:
drwx------ 3 kbk kbk 4096 Oct 11 17:31 ,,dbp-importorigtargz-tq3z3R
What's that? Looks like an arch leftover? Does it have a purpose or
can I erase it?
