jftr: i do sponsor cdbs packages, but i can't give any tips to the sponsoree in case there are problem whith it. > What are the problems with CDBS (apart from debian/control automation)? For me, it's all about calling the dh_* scripts: cdbs always calls all every available dh_* it seems, whereas handcrafted rules do only call the required ones. Beeing adicted to simplicity, this is not a cleverness feauture to me, that's raw force. Some time ago, when squashfs and unionfs were both building their binary-modules packages on their own, unionfs took about 30 seconds to build with handcrafted rules for all i386 flavours, whereas squashfs took over 2.5 minutes with cdbs (and build: for squashfs takes less time than the one of unionfs). The effect of calling all dh_* was cumulating, though. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
