Post #3987107

2026-07-21 13:00 UTC

Decided to dig into what I initially suspected was hardware issues on a host performing "pkgin upgrade" very slowly. No, turns out it's legitimate requests hammering the disks, with pkg_delete performing an MD5 check on every file it is about to forcibly remove anyway. Eventually it'd be nice to add a flag for this, but for now I've removed it for my builds: https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/pkgsrc/commit/87055e3a0c53f409a0cf1efa887a3cb96afe0757 This will be in macOS and SmartOS builds soon, and will significantly improve upgrade performance. #pkgsrc

    @jperkin@federate.me.uk The UX is confusing anyway, the message from pkg_delete looks like it failed to delete the file because the checksum didn't match.
