Package: python-pyside-dbg Version: 1.0.3-1 Severity: wishlist * cjwatson wonders if python-pyside-dbg really needs to be so obscenely enormous <cjwatson> (as my mirror sits there trying to download it - and of course if it fails partway through then debmirror has to start from the beginning) <OdyX> cjwatson: I would be happy to get that reduced. Patches welcome. :-) <OdyX> (not producing the debug flavour would divide the (huge) build time by two) <cjwatson> could it not just be split into -dbg packages for each of the runtimes? that way at least an interrupted mirror wouldn't have to start so much earlier <cjwatson> or is there some reason it needs to be a giant conglomerate? <OdyX> there is no particular reason besides "-dbg is useless in most cases, so for the rare cases it is actually needed, having only one package does sound saner" <OdyX> cjwatson: I'm not particularily opposed to the idea; though I'm not certain the work it'll need is worth it. <OdyX> cjwatson: please file a bug; I'll think about it (I'm /away now). <cjwatson> OK. I wasted 192MB of download on a 1Mbit link, so I do care :-) <cjwatson> er, 1Mbit/s
(on a good day - today is not such a day) <OdyX> (the split won't make the sum of the packages' sizes smaller than the big blob size it currently is) <cjwatson> no, but it would reduce the penalty for interruption <cjwatson> debmirror doesn't repeatedly download the same file, but it doesn't deal efficiently with interrupted downloads of a single very large file My smoking ADSL line would appreciate it.
