pkg_extract(): Add support for pax and add new methods
Even though we had a portable extraction method for tarballs, this slowed down the extraction immensely. I have added 2 new methods for tarball extraction so that we have faster extraction speeds based on the system tar implementation. Here are the options with the order of preference: - pax: Although an uncommon program, pax is defined by POSIX, and supports regular expressions, meaning that we can 'strip' components. This is slightly faster than bsdtar and GNU tar. - bsdtar/gnutar: We simply use '--strip-components 1' for these tar implementations. - tar: This is the portable method we had been using for a while, it's good, gets the job done, but it is slower. Here is also a little benchmarking I did by extracting the Linux tarball for 10 times per method. tarball=$CPT_CACHE/sources/linux-headers/linux-5.10.12.tar.xz for extract in pax bsdtar tar; do time sh -c ". cpt-lib extract=$extract for i in \$(seq 10); do mkdir -p hdr; cd hdr; tar_extract \"$tarball\"; cd ..; rm -rf hdr done" done This yields the following output, methods are as ordered above: sh -c 75.21s user 11.11s system 115% cpu 1:14.90 total sh -c 78.68s user 14.64s system 124% cpu 1:15.15 total sh -c 99.88s user 69.99s system 119% cpu 2:21.70 total FossilOrigin-Name: 45e3a9a03e7eff9b30b0e911d68d44068e8681ebf4501f271c8a686118f29243
