Backport of ls_elf.so (misc/koffice - krita slow to startup)

[Nat Sloss <nathanialsloss%yahoo.com.au@localhost>]

Hi,

 I posted the following to pkgsrc-users:

Hi,

I've recently have a need to use krita and I've found a problem.

Under NetBSD 5.0.1 and I think 5.1 but I'm not certain, krita takes 10 minutes 
to start up.

It seems to spend most of its time in start up in _rtld_sym functions as far 
as 
I can tell with gdb.  After searching around I found this thread:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2010/02/24/msg003325.html

And so I tested it with current (5.99.51) and krita only took 5s.

Is there anything that can be done to the package or kdelibs3 or can I rebuild 
ld_elf.so from current sources integrated into my NetBSD 5.0.1 source tree?

Would that cause problems or am I safe in doing so? (same functions and 
parameters etc)


Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Nat.
-------------------------------------------------------

I was told that it would be a bad idea to apply sources from current and that 
I should post to tech-userlevel and ask for a back port to NetBSD 5.

Is a backport possible? I believe it effects not only 5.0.1 but 5.1 as well.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Nat.
