Package: src:irssi Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Building irssi takes somehow a long time on slow architectures (takes ~25 minutes on arm*). It can support parallel building to get the benefit of multi-core/cpu systems.
Attached is a patch doing so. It will deal with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and to find if there is something like "parallel=N". This is a standard environment variable, and if the value isn't set it will default to 1. Thanks, Aron Xu
