Hi,
Because of the failing cdbs package for Ubuntu (and Debian) I've spoken to the maintainer of cdbs which is also the maintainer of the cdbs Debian package.
He sees the situation as follows:
Debian Policy §4.9.1 says: It is up to the package maintainer to decide whether the package build times are long enough and the package build system is robust enough to make supporting parallel builds worthwhile.
And what would the packager do to enable parallel builds ?
He would do some bash scripting in the rules file to get the # of parallel builds to from the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS env variable and then calls make with the parsed argument which is butt ugly to say it politely. IMHO the debian way plain sucks and shouldn't be repeated. Instead some "DISABLE_PARALLEL_BUILD=1" in the packages meta data is much preferable. See also http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html section 4.9.1 (besides that parallel builds being broken _IS_ a bug in the packages build system which should be filed upstream and not at debian) @Peer: did you file a bug about that at cdbs upstream? regards, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
