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
