Ah, I forgot about that one. Yes, it's absolutely a good idea to use that. The snapshot feature makes buildd use a clean chroot (built from the same original chroot) for each and every build, which is thrown away after the build. This means it doesn't waste time uninstalling packages (dropping an LVM snapshot is so much faster), and it also can't fuck up a chroot in the case of a broken package. -- Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and save on postage. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
