Wanna-build is scheduling the packages in a certain manner, priority is one of these, historical build time, reverse dependencies and overdue time are not. I've been in favour of a modern w-b replacement for a long, long time (see http://www.buildd.net/files/Multibuild-Draft.pdf), but somehow there wasn't enough interest to finish, although there was already a sbuild replacement called jbuild... Anyway, I still find w-b to act suboptimal in such situations we're facing at the moment... -- Ciao... // Fon: 0381-2744150 Ingo \X/ SIP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gpg pubkey: http://www.juergensmann.de/ij/public_key.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
