I think Jeff meant to do all builds before starting to upload, and then as tight together as feasible. Even if we wanted to we probably couldn't squeeze all 4000 packages or so in one dinstall frame. You could help us by letting us know how many mega bytes are acceptable per day (this can be either just for us, or as a total in incoming, so we just fill up what is left, if there is a strong fluctuation). > On an unrelated note, you shouldn't just blindly use sbuild's > --make-binNMU facility either; that only works when the architecture > is in sync. It will be very easy to filter out the packages that are uptodate and require an NMU, and those that are out of date and don't require that. In fact, there are at least two independant implementations of this (quinn-diff and in turtle). Thanks for the reminder. Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
