debian 'gentoo-like'
|
|
|
Hi
I was reading the documentation on how to build source
package on debian.. is there an automated way so that
I can directly get the source and rebuild
automatically the source package?
Also, is there any gain in performance ? has anyone
notice any differences?
Thanks
Manu

The closest thing Debian has to Gentoo's emerge is apt-build although I |
found it to be a little buggy myself but it's worth a look (could be
very cool in the future).

As an ex-gentoo user I would say that performance gains are small to non |
existant and not worth the time it takes to compile large packages but I
haven't done any tests to back this up, YMMV.

Not really, no. Nothing is stopping you from trying, though.

For the vast majority of stuff, not really, no, unless you're a Gentoo
ricer. Then it's 2 trillion times faster in your head alone.

Packages that benefit from subarchitecture optimizations tend to have
subarchitecture-specific packages already (for example, I have
mplayer-k7 and kernel-image-2.6.10-k7 installed; you can probably guess
my subarchitecture by the package name).

Ah, you bastard, you did it again!!! Had to clean my keyboard the first |
time round when I read about the Gentoo ricer. Luckily this time round
I was somewhat prepared. It's hilarious!!! I have a clear picture of a
typical ricer in my head...
