[Monotone-devel] Current monotone disadvantages

[Nico -telmich- Schottelius]

Hello!

I am currently comparing tla and monotone. There are imho some drawbacks in
monotone:

- tla has lesser dependencies (gcc+libc vs. libboost* from monotone)
- tla is faster (type "tla help" vs. "monotone")
--> perhaps this is a reason of loading libs?

scice% ldd /usr/packages/tla-1.2pre3/bin/tla 
                libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x40027000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x4004a000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

scice% ldd ~/projects/monotone/monotone/monotone
                libnsl.so.1 => /lib/tls/libnsl.so.1 (0x40027000)
        libresolv.so.2 => /lib/tls/libresolv.so.2 (0x4003c000)
        libpopt.so.0 => /lib/libpopt.so.0 (0x4004f000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0x40057000)
        libboost_regex-gcc-mt-1_31.so.1.31.0 =>
/usr/lib/libboost_regex-gcc-mt-1_31.so.1.31.0 (0x4005a000)
        libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-1_31.so.1.31.0 =>
/usr/lib/libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-1_31.so.1.31.0 (0x400d4000)
        libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_31.so.1.31.0 =>
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_31.so.1.31.0 (0x400d9000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x400e9000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x401a3000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x401c6000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x401ce000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x40309000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/tls/librt.so.1 (0x40318000)

- tla builds much faster (perhaps c vs. c++ or gcc vs. g++ problem)


Just some things I noted, perhaps someone has thoughts if and howto
fix those things.
