Package: distcc Version: 2.18.3-4 Severity: wishlist Hello Carsten,
I am using distcc together with aranym and gcc-cross-m68k to build Debian package for debian-m68k. For the most part it works great, since I managed to build a large part of KDE, iceweasel, etc. There are two minor tweak to distcc that are necessary to make distcc run more smoothly. It would be great it they could be configurable at run time. 1) The variable dcc_io_timeout is hardcoded to 300 in src/io.c. Aranym IO being relatively slow it is safer to increase this value to avoid spurious timeout with huge source file. So I would like it to be runtime configurable. Personnaly I have set it to 3000. 2) the function dcc_source_needs_local in src/filename.c checks whether the input file looks like autoconf test. However this is not a reliable test and sometime interfers with proper operation of distcc, so I need to disable it. It would be nice if it was runtime configurable.
