Package: debmirror Severity: normal I'm running debmirror on an arm, and noticed it spending a lot of time doing this:
17297 pts/2 S+ 0:00 | \_ sh -c bzip2 <.temp/dists/sid/main/binary-armel/Packages >.temp/dists/sid/main/binary-armel/Packages.bz2 17298 pts/2 R+ 0:42 | \_ bzip2 bzip2 of large files is not very fast on a slowish arm cpu. The bzip2 is only done to avoid redownloading the same data, but here the file can be redownloaded much faster than it can be regenerated. Indeed, the bzip2s take longer than the default timeout setting, which makes mirroring then fail.. So maybe a switch to turn this on/off? -- see shy jo
