Kernel takes a day now (on the fastest VMs), eglibc 3 days, gcc 5 days (since gcj got folded into it; add another day or so once gnat will also be folded). >Jenkins. We can't ask them to rebuild their entire toolchain each night! No OpenJDK either (can probably be fixed, but zero is sloooooow). Additionally, with only, say, 256 or 768 MiB physmem, running additional software on the buildds is something you do not want, considering how much RAM building some stuff takes (I had to use about 5 GiB of swap to link Webkit, and imagine just how much paging that involves, also in terms of time). Building GCC isn’t exactly resource-saving. (Even running apt/dpkg isn’t due to the sheer size of the archive, though Guillem kindly reduced memory usage in the upcoming dpkg upload.) I think with my “better SCC proposal” we could have a sliding scale for this, but I’d oppose using something OpenJDK-based for that (think of mipsel, too). Especially as simple mksh scripts would take care of the job too (including CGI for web export ;). bye, //mirabilos -- Solange man keine schmutzigen Tricks macht, und ich meine *wirklich* schmutzige Tricks, wie bei einer doppelt verketteten Liste beide Pointer XORen und in nur einem Word speichern, funktioniert Boehm ganz hervorragend. -- Andreas Bogk über boehm-gc in d.a.s.r -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
