Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.9.20 Severity: wishlist I was told today that autobuilders use `dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -B -r<getrootcommand>` to build packages for the various arches. Therefore a lot of CPU cycle are wasted building arch-independent stuff that will never be used (since the _all package isn't prepared but the content are built).
Policy was recently changed in order to accomodate this situation. See http://bugs.debian.org/72335 It would be nice if `dpkg-buildpackage -B` first tried the build-arch target of debian/rules and only revert to the more lengthy and wasteful build target if build-arch weren't present. I'm sure this would help slower arches such as m68k keep up. Thanks, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
