Yes it does. Parallel build should be explicitly enabled by "--parallel" passed to DH. I think we should make this change in order to make build system consistent. Most packages would build marginally slower by default. For few others it is not hard to add "--parallel" to "debian/rules". Arguably ignoring parallel build options is a bug. dh-golang should have respected debhelper options from very beginning so I'm not too concerned about behaviour change. After all there will be a note in changelog about it and if you think it is not enough then we can even add a NEWS file. > (I don't know how this works and > apparently have not got around to reading up on it in the week since > the bug was filed, so I'll ask a potentially silly question) Debhelper takes care of parsing "--parallel" and "--max-parallel" so we just need to take value returned by "get_parallel()" and convert it into parameters to "go build" and to "go test" (I've forgotten to include similar change to "test()" function). -- Best wishes, Dmitry Smirnov. --- We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the way in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
