Plodding though bugs. After lots of profiling, I’ve mostly decided that up2date
isn’t actually all that slow. Turns out it was averaging just under a
second for each package, and just about two and a half second
for each package that was repackaged. Of course, that looks
really slow when your updating 1500 packages. The numbers look
even better without “dev” or “glibc-common” or “kernel-source”
throwing the curve (15-25% of the files on an average system
are in those three packages…)

Left work somewhat early (9:00pm ish…) to head over to
Durham to catch a show at Ringside with badger.
Just your typical tuba/cello/bass/guitar/bass clarinet/moog
improvisation group ;->

Got home and actually played a bit since I was in a
“make (hopefully)interesting improvised noises” mood. Of course,
thats pretty much all I ever do.
