Package: dose-builddebcheck Severity: wishlist User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap
Hi dose3 developers, By now, rebootstrap[1] is a heavy user of dose-builddebcheck and invoking it well over 50 times per run. This starts to manifest in the time it takes to run rebootstrap. Thus far I am always passing the same set of build profiles to dose, but in future I would like to ask it for building some packages with different profiles than others. Of course, I can simply run dose-builddebcheck for each profile combination, but each of those invocations incurs the parsing of Packages and Sources and thus increases the time to run rebootstrap. For example, I would like to be able to ask dose-builddebcheck whether util-linux can be built under stage1 or tar can be built with no profiles. Johannes suggested splitting the parsing phase into a separate step, such that multiple queries could be made against the same Packages file without incurring the cost of parsing multiple times.
