[pkg-fso-maint] qemubuilder + distcc

Hi,

I read your qemubuilder+distcc thoughts from

http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/diary/daily/2008-Sep-1.html.en

with interest since I need to build package for the openmoko
freerunner. I installed distcc and emdebian-tools packages on three
debian unstable (chroot) PCs and then used "sudo emsetup --arch armel"
to get a cross-compiler. Now I am building linux with

make -j5 CC="distcc arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc"

inside qemu and so far everything seems to work normally. Thanks a lot
for the idea!

Could qemubuilder be made to support distcc directly (and
non-interactively) with syntax like

CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=5 DISTCC_HOSTS="host1 host2" \
 CC="distcc arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc" \
 qemubulder --inherit-distcc-variables --build foo.dsc

?


best regards,
Timo Lindfors
