I would like to have a nocompress Debian build option that will skip any compression/optimisation at build time.
Specifically dpkg-builddeb and dpkg-source should use not use any compression methods. Similarly other tools can optionally listen on that variable e.g. skipping pkgmangler and dh_scour. This is meant to be a developer option when creating test/throw-away binaries. In particular it would be useful during: * change-rebuild-test cycles * (local) archive rebuilds (when debs are not published, e.g. testing a transition / binNMUs) An even more crazy thought is to transfer uncompressed debs to a faster host for compression. Does this sound reasonable? Does this need to go as a feature request against policy or debhelper or as a DEP?
