That depends a lot on the machine that is used for building, but kullervo
should be as fast as my box.

buildd at aahz:~>avg-pkg-build-time octave2.1
octave2.1:              30:32:28 (4 entries, sigma 12:16:14)

So I expect it to be ready tomorrow morning, probably earlier. I even have a
box that is 33% faster, has four times the memory, but a lousy network
connection, it would take forever to get the source there... once we have
the NICs for it, this will be the best m68k ever! Until the 240MHz ColdFire
will work, then you can bring your ia64 to the basement ;-)
