How to achieve FreeBSD ports acceleration
How to achieve FreeBSD ports acceleration, I believe that many inexperienced people do not know what to do, so this paper summarizes the causes of the problem and solutions, through this article I hope you can solve this problem.
Because ports is downloaded with a single thread by default, no matter how good your network is, the speed is so slow that you can't take advantage of your high bandwidth at all. So we need to use wget or axel software to provide multithreaded downloads.
Since I was transferred by a linux user, I am familiar with wget. Today, we just use wget to speed up the download.
First, install wget
Freebsd does not have wget installed by default, so we need to install it ourselves, as follows.
[root@fb / etc] # whereis wget\\ find the location of wget
Wget:/usr/ports/ftp/wget
[root@fb / etc] # cd / usr/ports/ftp/wget
[root@fb / usr/ports/ftp/wget] # make install clean\\ compile and install wget. As it is a tool, we do not need to add any parameters. The default is fine.
After the installation is complete, look for it with whereis wget
[root@fb / usr/ports/ftp/wget] # whereis wget
Wget: / usr/local/bin/wget / usr/local/man/man1/wget.1.gz / usr/ports/ftp/wget
You will find that there is already an execution file for wget. At this point the wget installation is complete
Second, let ports call wget download tool.
Modify / etc/make.conf with a text editor that you are familiar with, and the content is as follows
[root@fb / usr/ports/ftp/wget] # cat / etc/make.conf
# added by use.perl 2009-12-08 05:34:56
PERL_VERSION=5.8.9
FETCH_CMD=wget-c-t 1
DISABLE_SIZE=yes
The wget-c parameter means that the breakpoint resume function is turned on, and-t is the number of retries to connect.
If you want wget to traverse the proxy server, you need to add the following two lines
FETCH_ENV=http_proxy= http://proxy.isadba.com:3128\\ http proxy
FETCH_ENV=ftp_proxy= http://proxy.isadba.com:3128\\ ftp proxy
\\ proxy.isadba.com is the proxy server 3128 is the port
With axel downloads, because axel is a tool that supports multithreaded downloads, the download speed is better than wget.
First, install axel
[root@fb ~] # whereis axel
Axel: / usr/ports/ftp/axel
[root@fb ~] # cd / usr/ports/ftp/axel/
[root@fb / usr/ports/ftp/axel] # make install clean
II. Modify / etc/make.conf
FETCH_CMD=axel-n 10
If you want axel to traverse the proxy server, you need to add the following two lines
FETCH_ENV=http_proxy= http://proxy.isadba.com:3128\\ http proxy
FETCH_ENV=ftp_proxy= http://proxy.isadba.com:3128\\ ftp proxy
After completing the above work, you can try to install the software using ports, which should be much faster.
