review of the post install preparation script (!23) · Merge requests · sft / lcgcmake

Surprised by the slowness of post-install.sh during the build, I tried to write a Python version of it.

By rewriting the logic in Python, I manage to speed it up a lot (from ~20 min to a few seconds for pytools).

What I obtained at the end is to split post-install.sh in two pieces:

gen_post_install_info.py to generate the informations for the relocation of the build
post-install.sh to apply the changes after the installation
