Someway to decrease build time?
When installing on Arch Linux via yay, the build time is ~4 minutes.
Is there some way to provide builds for this to the AUR setup, or decrease build times?
I realize 4 minutes isn't that much, but it's consistently 4-5x as long as the rest of the system update process.
Memory usage also seemed to have exploded over the past releases. I am running an older secondary arch system with only 4gb of ram and when trying to compile, the entire system freezes. I didn't have the time to investigate further but using the mise-bin package obviously helped by avoiding compiling
yeah if possible using binary packages is better. You can also try changing settings like lto. I'd accept a PR for a new profile like "fast-release" or something that we could use for things like AUR.
Switching to thin LTO helps to speed up the build process quite a lot indeed: on my machine instead of 1m17s it becomes 20s. Disabling LTO completely doesn't make it any quicker though.
I wonder, how much worse the performance is with thin LTO instead of fat? So far I noticed that the binary is 4M smaller with fat LTO.
