Ah yes, correct > > It could actually also be a good idea to use docker for QGIS, as it > would possibly reduce testing time (a qgis-build-test docker could be > provided with all pre-built dependencies). It shouldn't make a big difference. Installing deps from a (cached) apt repository or setting up a (cached) docker instance should be comparable from what I can see? Most of the time is spent on building QGIS where a major improvement could be achieved by having a persistent ccache directory. This has cut down build time from ~50 minutes to 10-20 minutes (unless some very low level files change).
