Hi, I have a couple of reviews in flight for flua && makeman, if anybody is interested: - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D39083 (flua: lposix: add more useful functions for general purpose scripts) - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D39084 (tools: build: add a rewrite of makeman in lua) D39084 doesn't hook up makeman.lua to the "makeman" target, yet; it simply adds the new version, then we can validate it and replace the existing makeman shell script. The main benefit of the rewrite of makeman is that it applies some super-naive parallelism to makeman; one fork for every option described in src.conf(5). This dropped execution time on one of our high-core count arm64 machines from ~1m40s on average to ~15s. In a VM on an Intel NUC, down from ~2 minutes to 40s. Thanks, Kyle Evans
