As a data point for comparison: Some years ago, when I ran piuparts tests on the archive myself, it took a few seconds to unpack the piuparts chroot tarball. An LVM snapshot or other such magic might be faster than that, but the actual build or install test is so much slower that it is hardly worth worrying about a few seconds. -- Blog/wiki/website hosting with ikiwiki (free for free software): http://www.branchable.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
