According to those numbers, I don't really see how it could become a viable solution to require that packages support building using dpkg-buildpackage -j. This option is nice for maintainers, to build their own packages, but it seems better to push #209008 instead, so packages that take a long time to build have a common interface to specify that parallel builds. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
