Um, that's wonderful. But does glibc build lots of object files which get discarded or something? > There's no way to sanely cache our builds. I understand that it's traditional for the tone of debian-devel to be overwhelmingly negative, but in this case I think you have erred. Building glibc (2.2.5-3) from source results in packages with a total installed size of 45,296. The ccache stats show a cache size 153,476 which is about 3 times as large. If this is indicative, a complete debian build would use 24GB, and I would say that a cache of a few GB would be a win (given not all packages get built as frequently). Also, a build farm could be optimized to usually build the same package on the same machine, optimizing the cache furthur. - -- Thanks for your mail, Paul. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8q5/cEqpKZTfaTasRAs3AAKDn4ygMtzprOOUEfRIYosYmc8jw3gCfWIZ8 +LTIh4/UlJ6+wlXTZEgo5a8= =UTcr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
