Package: debian-handbook
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
The debian-handbook appears to have a CPU bound build where the majority
of the time is spent in this single threaded loop in d/rules:
"""
override_dh_auto_build:
set -e; for lang in $(LANGS); do \
./build/build-html --lang=$$lang; \
done
"""
It looks like it would be doable to run ./build/build-html in parallel
(with different values for --lang). Even with a suboptimal job
scheduling would greatly enhance the build time on any system with
multiple cores to spare for the build.
Thanks,
~Niels
