Even not considering the problem I see with the Vancouver proposal
regarding Debian identity and quality, I think *this* is one of the
greatest problems: how much is this a problem with autobuilding being
slow? Autobuilding being slow is a problem that has a number of
interesting, _techinical_ solutions as, eg, incremental building,
ccache, distcc, etc.
And I had not a good answer on why such an important item (KDE taking 12
days to compile on m68k???) was not addressed.
A non-clean ccache, keeping .o files between successive would give a lot
of boost on this.
Clearly, you have no concept of how much source passes through unstable each
day, and how big a ccache would have to be to be useful on a buildd...
