Hi! Thanks to Laurent Vivier's awesome work on the m68k code of QEMU, we are now able to set up a much faster sbuild configuration for m68k.
I have done a first test build with the xterm package and the build time went down from 53 minutes (Aranym) to 12 minutes :). I have created a new entry on the Debian Wiki [1] with instructions on how to set up such a build environment. I will perform some more tests and verify the compiled binaries and if everything goes well, I will replace my Aranym buildds with these much faster sbuild-qemu buildds which are also much easier to set up than buildds based on Aranyms as one basically just needs to copy the static qemu binary into the pre-downloaded m68k chroot and then configure the chroot as normal from this point onwards. Huge thanks to Laurent for his work on QEMU plus the additional advise he provided while testing all this :-). Adrian > [1] https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/sbuildQEMU -- .''`.
