Excerpt:
Code:

2017-05-05T21:37:48 >>> net-libs/nodejs-6.9.4: 8′43″
2018-04-15T19:19:29 >>> net-libs/nodejs-8.11.1: 17′30″
2019-11-23T23:42:46 >>> net-libs/nodejs-12.13.0: 10:02:58
2020-05-20T21:21:05 >>> net-libs/nodejs-14.2.0: 1:02:04
2022-05-21T19:52:36 >>> net-libs/nodejs-16.14.2: 59′15″
2022-06-18T21:22:48 >>> net-libs/nodejs-18.3.0: 1:13:32
2023-05-27T23:54:43 >>> net-libs/nodejs-20.2.0: 1:25:51
2024-07-13T21:33:24 >>> net-libs/nodejs-22.3.0: 2:50:16
2024-08-17T20:11:17 >>> net-libs/nodejs-22.4.1-r1: 3:19:54
2024-10-26T23:33:21 >>> net-libs/nodejs-22.4.1-r1: 2:45:26

To put this into context, the emerge history goes back at least one, if not two build machines, and each new box was faster than the previous. I'm willing to accept the 2nd last entry as an outlier, but do we have an explanation for the compile time for this ebuild? On my system, it is required by all things mozilla, direct and derived, so I can't avoid it.
Code:

     Installed versions:  22.4.1-r1(0/22)^t(01:18:34 27/10/24)(icu npm snapshot ssl system-icu system-ssl -corepack -debug -doc -inspector -lto -pax-kernel -test CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse2")

I could probably disable npm, but not sure for how much gain.

If it is about the long compile time, this is nothing new: https://github.com/orgs/nodejs/discussions/43451

That was fun.

Post your emerge --info, those compile times are very long even for a potato PC.

Someone reported this to me on IRC a few months ago and we did a little bit of digging. We found the substantial increase between iirc 20 and 22 started with an import of newer V8.

I filed a handful of GCC bugs (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116286, https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116285) for some kind of slow compilations but they weren't smoking guns and I don't really feel like we got to the bottom of it. The difference for those 2 bugs I filed wasn't really ideal in terms of something we could easily reduce to make it more actionable, either.

Those times match mine:

2024-11-11T20:38:17 >>> net-libs/nodejs-22.10.0: 3:17:04


nodejs is a massive pain in the ass to compile. I did at some point turn on LTO globally.

If that's regarding mine, the results are a bit misleading. I had forgotten that I changed from -j3 to -j1 to prevent intermittent failures. It has been building with -j1 for some time... I'll try -j2 to see it works.

It seems likely that I switched from -j3 to -j1 with nodejs-20.5.1:
Code:
net-libs/nodejs-20.2.0: 1:29:57
net-libs/nodejs-20.2.0: 1:35:28
net-libs/nodejs-20.2.0: 1:33:24
net-libs/nodejs-20.5.1: 4:10:36
net-libs/nodejs-20.6.1: 4:18:17
net-libs/nodejs-20.11.0: 4:12:00
net-libs/nodejs-20.11.0: 4:28:08
net-libs/nodejs-20.12.1: 4:02:24
net-libs/nodejs-22.3.0: 6:53:02
net-libs/nodejs-22.4.1-r1: 6:56:54
net-libs/nodejs-22.4.1-r1: 6:55:44
net-libs/nodejs-22.4.1-r1: 6:54:49
I've been delaying an icu induced rebuild of nodejs / firefox, so I'll see what happens later this week.

With the consideration I'm assuming most of the commenters here do not seem to need nodejs for something other than a build time dependency, I would urge moving to binary packages for the ones that require nodejs as a build dependency. Nodejs is too big of a crap to waste any amount of time on it.

p.s. I hate that piece of .... for it made so much more .... possible. If it wasn't for firefox and calibre, it wouldn't exist on my computer.

Best Regards,
Georgi
