Package: distcc Version: 2.18.3-2 Severity: wishlist Is it possible to include a small script in the distcc package, that allows the user to turn distributed compiling easily on and off?
My solution would be something like: distcc-off: removes all symlinks in /usr/local/bin which point to distcc distcc-on: creates all symlinks in /usr/local/bin The background is: I have a laptop and when connected to my home-lan I want to use my compiler-farm. But when I am in a different lan, distcc is quite useless. Moreover when compiling things in a different lan I see these annoying warnings. Including these scripts would not hurt and are quite easy to write. And secondly: the average user has an easy method to turn distcc easily on ;) kind regards Bastian -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2-laptop Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages distcc depends on: ii adduser 3.64 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.51 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii netbase 4.21 Basic TCP/IP networking system distcc recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * distcc/daemon-allow: 192.168.0.0/16 * distcc/daemon: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
