Solene'% : OpenBSD: pkg_add performance analysis

OpenBSD package manager pkg_add is known to be quite slow and using much bandwidth

    Simple:

    1/ write a shell script with this content:

    #!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/curl -s -q -N $5

    2/ change the FETCH_CMD to the shell script!

    ;-)

    Solene mentions that she had to use a shelll wrapper to get rid of the “-S session=…” parameter from curl. Does anyone have an idea of how that would look, so that I can test this out.

    Another way of speeding up pkg_add is to use this project, obsdpkgup.
