Well, that's really the worst case scenario. I would have to run piuparts again to get better numbers, since: - I'm running piuparts on etch, not sid, and packages in-sid-but-not-in-etch are likely to be less well maintained, so changes are higher that they do bad stuff with /dev/tty - I use a workaround (make /dev/tty a copy of /dev/null) so that most packages reading /dev/tty don't block during the test I'll try to give a better estimation soon. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
