I'm a sysadmin who also would be interested in recompiling to optimise for
specific CPUs. As far as I can make out, to do this I have to download
source and edit the debain/rules and/or Makefile of each package to pass the
appropriate optimisation flags to the compiler, then rebuild the package.
I'm packaging a snapshot of XTide, version 2.2dev dated
1999/10/17. The date matters because the dev version may change
without changing version number before 2.2 is released.
I can't call it xtide_2.2dev19991017-1 because upgrades won't work when I
later package xtide_2.2-1 (unless I use epoch
Okay then, until this bug is fixed I will use my own version of
the file.
If you remember, can you email me when this bug gets closed?
(I see you submitted it).
Thanks.

Thanks, if there are no objections that's what I'll do.

Peter, as a user, I would be upset if a package included its own version of
rgb.txt... but then you do have to worry about those systems that want
clients but no server.. I say depend.

There are a couple of linux distro's out there (stampede + enoch) that have
optimised binaries for a specific cpu (eg. K6, pentium, p2 etc) they claim
pretty good performance improvements.
I mentoned this a few days on irc and got grilled pretty badly for even

That's about it. Such rebuilds are quite common.

I just noticed that xwatch needs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt.
Should I depend on xserver-common? It's a 424kB archives, 808kB
installed. _Most_ systems that want xwatch will have it already,
I suppose.
Or should I copy the file and have my own version
/usr/share/xwatch/rgb.txt ?

Quick question...
Say I want to rebuild _my_ package xcolmix_1.07-1_i386.deb
against new libraries and reupload it. I know I can renumber it
xcolmix_1.07-1.0.1_i386.deb and not upload new source and .diff.gz files.
What's the method for _generating_ the new deb?
The only way
