Lo and behold, we're finally catching up with Mozillas very own firefox
build in terms of speed.
PGO is an optimization technique in which in a first step we create a
build that supports instrumentation, meaning we can use it to create a
profile of how the browser behaved during usage. Then in a second pass
we create the final build that uses the acquired profiling data to
optimize the browser for the workload it actually received during
profiling.
The downside is that with PGO we now need to build Firefox twice, which
increases the build time from around 20 minutes to roughly 50 minutes.
In the Speedometer 2.0 benchmark multiple tests could see a
responsiveness improvemeant around 20-25%, which makes the increased
build time well worth it.
Sadly this benefit seems limited to x86_64-linux, builds on
aarch64-linux get stuck during profiling and I haven't found out why.
Finally, after a long time, we can say:
Closes: #76484
Supersedes: #129503
The current wrapper only includes vim, gvim and the man pages
(optionally). This rewrite distinguishes two scenarios, which I expect
cover the majority of use cases:
- standalone mode, when `name != "vim"`, means the user already has a
vim in scope and only wants to add a customized version with a
different name. In this case we only include wrappers for `/bin/*vim`.
- non-standalone mode, when `name == "vim"`, means the user expects a
normal vim package that uses the specified configuration. In this case
we include everything in the original derivation, with wrappers for
all the executables that accept a vimrc.
hostNames being deprecated makes configuring hosts with multiple keys a
pain. including the attr name of the entry in the host name list is a
nice convenience though, so we'll retain it and clarify the
documentation on how the actual host name list for an entry is put
together.
* _7zz: correct license and remove p7zip dependency
The code under Compress/Rar* is licensed under a specific unRAR license
Also Compress/LzfseDecoder.cpp is covered by BSD3
The unRAR code is removed from the `.tar.xz` since the license posits you
agree or remove the code from your hard drive
This adds some complexity to updating 7zz so there is also an update
script
Meta has been updated and tweaked
Source is now downloaded from sourceforge in the `.tar.xz` version to
avoid depending on p7zip
* _7zz: add notice of the license updates and optional unRAR licenced code
