Hi!
This patch series goes on top of <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43285>.
It addresses the performance issue described at:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-09/msg00073.html
Specifically, it implements option #4 (spawning ‘guix authenticate’
once for the whole session, instead of spawning it every time a
store item needs to be signed or authenticated), achieving a ~15x
speedup, which is not bad. :-)
There’s way more C++ code than I would like, and it’s probably not
pretty code (I always end up typing things like “C++ list append”
in a search engine to find the obscure incantation that does that).
There’s now a query/reply protocol between the daemon and ‘guix
authenticate’. Nothing fancy, but it allows for strings that contain
whitespace or newlines, which is necessary here.
That’s it!
Ludo’.
Ludovic Courtès (5):
daemon: Generalize 'HookInstance' to 'Agent'.
daemon: Isolate signing and signature verification functions.
daemon: Move 'Agent' to libutil.
daemon: Spawn 'guix authenticate' once for all.
authenticate: Cache the ACL and key pairs.
