I can never run piuparts - it just takes far too long over my crippled internet connection. Isn't there some way of getting piuparts to use the cached archives like pbuilder does? I already use the existing pbuilder chroot but downloading ALL dependencies EVERY TIME piuparts runs is completely useless to me. It's far easier for me to run sudo pbuilder update, login copy the necessary built files into the chroot and test from there. I fail to understand why piuparts is just so difficult to use without a super fast connection. Just how long is it meant to take to run the full piuparts test against sid, lenny and etch for a Gnome package on a <1Mb connection? I gave up after FOUR HOURS. Even a single piuparts run against sid takes far too long for me to do anything useful with it. Not using piuparts (or linda) hasn't been a hindrance so far. I just can't see why piuparts is recommended so often. pbuilder/pdebuild are *far* more useful, IMHO. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
