Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.196
Severity: wishlist
There was recently a discussion on planet-debian about making BUILDPLACE a
tmpfs. This increases the speed a lot. But then hard-linking of the cached
Debian packages fails. An alternative might be to use the copy action
(APTCACHEHARDLINK = no). But wouldn't it be sufficient to bind-mount APTCACHE
as /var/cache/apt/archives in the chroot?
Could there be an alternative option to APTCACHEHARDLINK: APTCACHEBINDMOUNT?
IMO this would make it easily possible to use a tmpfs for BUILDPLACE.
Regards, Daniel
