Hi Hideke, Building a (potentially large) set of images for an individual architecture takes ~30-40 minutes end-to-end; we currently build for the following 15 arches: i386 source amd64 multi-arch powerpc armel armhf ia64 mips mipsel s390 s390x sparc kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 That's where the time goes. The sets we're building for each arch can include up to 9 different types of image: netinst netinst with firmware normal full CD set (Gnome desktop) kde CD lxde CD xfce CD full DVD set full BD set full DL-BD set They're currently all run in parallel as we build for one architecture, getting a massive win from paralellism and caching on pettersson (the CD build machine). I'm hoping we can add some SSDs into pettersson next, to make the build process even faster. Hope that helps :-) -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
