Due to git clone is too slow, I now got the pkgsrc.tar.bz2 tarball and extract it.
It’s very slow until tar exited because of errors.
The full log is here: https://pastebin.com/tRD6QRih
Regardless of this, I have a pkgsrc directory on my home dir and going to try a bootstrap.
Your archive contains hard links. Haiku native file system BFS do not support hard links.
Any plan to add hard links support?
Yes, in BFS2.
When would we have it?
No short or medium term plans.
In haikuports we extract tar archives using Python and convert hardlinks to either symbolic links or file copies.
Or you can use another filesystem for your pkgsrc work, where hardlinks are supported. Maybe ext4 or reiserfs (because I think we have working write support for these two).
This information is misleading.
Here is my report about supported file systems on Haiku. Tested on Haiku 64 bit.
NTFS: read/write support
But git clone failed with this:
error: unable to mmap ‘/unnamed volume/pkgsrc/.git/config’: Invalid Argument
fatal: could not set ‘core.filemode’ to ‘false’
Ext4: completely no support at all
Error mounting volume: Bad data
Both read/write or read-only.
Only detected as Ext2.
Ext3: Fastest with git clone, read/write support, only detected as Ext2
Ext2: Slower with git clone, read/write support
ReiserFS: Read-only
Reiser4: Not supported
Here is little investigation on the slowness with git clone.
BeFS: Slowest, git clone stuck at 35%
Ext2, Ext3: git clone could done
Resolving deltas is generally slow.
Extracting tarball is slow.
Stuck after git Updating files done.
The slowness is I/O problem.
It’s not just the own problem of BeFS.
It’s slow for all supported read/write file system.
BTW, I don’t know why my posts are all flagged by the community.
I didn’t spam, nor advertise my product.
My account name, djgpp, is created when I failed to try making djgpp compile and run on Haiku and needs help there.
I’m out of idea, so I just pick the name ‘djgpp’.
I’m just a normal user.
I’m not related with either djgpp or mingw-w64.
Please make it clear about that.
The restriction of your platform for new users caused me to save my posts in notepad before I could post. This is the reason for my abnormally order of posts.
I tested cloning pkgsrc. You can use ‘–depth 10’ to shorten the time.
With tar, you can use the ‘-h’ and/or ‘-O’ options to workaround some of the issues…

Sorry about that, it wasn’t the community but the forum software. It found you linking several times to the same domain suspicious. Maybe the admin team can loosen these restrictions a bit?
I unflagged your posts, anyway.
