makepkg-optimize is a collection of libmakepkg tidy, buildenv, and executable extensions, and a supplement to pacman. These enable various optimization routines for building and packaging such as upx compression, profile guided optimization, polyhedral model optimization, etc..

Note: Over-optimization is a thing, and it is not good.

See the wiki article for details.

Note to packagers: makepkg-optmize's macros may be enabled or disabled in options() as well!

the upx script doesn't work as expected i noticed because i had build some packages with set upx in the option array but the binaries was never compressed.

tidy_upx() {
    if check_option "upx" "y"; then
        msg2 "$(gettext "Compressing binaries with %s...")" "UPX"
        local binary
        find . -type f -perm -u+w 2>/dev/null | while read -r binary ; do
            case "$(file --brief --mime-type "$binary")" in
                'application/x-executable' | 'application/x-dosexec')
                    upx "${UPXFLAGS[@]}" "$binary" &>/dev/null ||
                        warning "$(gettext "Could not compress binary : %s")" "${binary/$pkgdir\//}"
                    ;;
            esac
        done
    fi
}

it seems binary never reached the upx comman https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/upx.sh.in?h=makepkg-optimize

Good news, buildenv is now extendable: https://git.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=508b4e3ec0cb3e365942f4dc0626edda4789932b

makepkg-optimize 5-1 is now a supplement to pacman-git!

As such, the package now conflicts() and replaces() pacman-buildenv_ext-git, which is deprecated, and depends() on pacman-git.

To avoid the possibility of pacman removing itself, remove old versions of makepkg-optimize and install pacman-git before upgrading.

If you use an AUR helper, you can probably install them simultaneously:

pikaur -S makepkg-optimize pacman-git

See the wiki article for details.

Long story short, the concept may get in there, someday...

I have grown tired of waiting. I've uploaded a patched "pacman-buildenv_ext-git" and "makepkg-optimize" to demonstrate how this {c,sh}ould work in the future: pacman patched to allow extensions to BUILDENV and separate packages of supplemental BUILDENV and Tidy extensions.

> Neither would be necessary, were my proposal to pacman-dev approved what as the reason it was not approved? I went throught the mailing list and saw no response to your patch. Did you get back any feedback at all? It sounds pretty useful.

quequotion commented on 2016-04-01 06:29 (UTC)

For now, makepkg-optimize installs an alternative script and configuration file. Neither would be necessary, were my proposal to pacman-dev approved: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2016-March/020960.html

How to use lto for any package?

>checksums I cheated, it's true. Must remember to always update pkgsums and then scrinfo before add/commit/push. >type-o How'd that happen?! >xz This is a little complicated. Is the threading implementation actually implemented now? or is the option still a place holder? Either way, all available cores is said to be the default. As for the compression, I might go with "--best -e" because I have the CPU for it, but maybe just "--best" for the package release--that will probably inflate tiny packages though. Also, the problems with makepkg-optimize.conf are a temporary concern. Once the next pacman release rolls out, I will change this to copy makepkg.conf from the user's own original. The current file represents some of my own settings.

And one more: COMPRESSXZ=(xz -T 0 -7 -c -z -) using all cores and it is high level compression for xz instead of default COMPRESSXZ=(xz -c -z -) In line 25 is typo #-- The the package required by makepkg to download VCS sources Simple double the at begin line in makepkg.conf file code.

checksums are not corrected.
