01/02: packages, scripts, utils: Enable multi-threaded xz compression.


From: guix-commits
Subject: 01/02: packages, scripts, utils: Enable multi-threaded xz compression.
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2020 21:26:15 -0400 (EDT)

apteryx pushed a commit to branch core-updates
in repository guix.

commit 5a0997ef7f3968d216328b8c63a6e36dd29a5ab8
Author: Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Sat Sep 19 00:20:47 2020 -0400

    packages, scripts, utils: Enable multi-threaded xz compression.
    
    xz compression is slow; using the multi-thread mode of xz can make it more
    than 6 times faster, for example when compressing the large linux-libre
    source.
    
    * guix/build/utils.scm (%xz-parallel-args): New procedure.
    * guix/packages.scm (patch-and-repack): Specify the required above xz
    arguments by setting the XZ_DEFAULTS environment variable.
    * guix/scripts/pack.scm (%compressors, bootstrap-xz): Modify the commands
    Gexps so they do not need to be quoted.  This allows lazily evaluating the
    arguments on the builder's side.  Specify the required xz arguments.
    (self-contained-tarball): Do not quote the compressor command value.
    (docker-image): Likewise.
    * guix/utils.scm (decompressed-port, compressed-port)
    (compressed-output-port): Specify the required above xz arguments.
