The attached patch implements parallel building of the debian packages using the -j parameter to make.
Predictably this gives package building a serious speed boost on an 8 way xeon with solid state drives :)
To make things even simpler, I've pushed a branch debian-packaging to git://
git.resare.com/kamailio that you can pull from and merge with master using the following commands:
git fetch resare
<check out the resare/debian-packaging branch, inspect>
<merge it into master>
A note on the patch:
- I've replaced the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS:="$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS) nostrip" (which puts literal quote characters in the make variable with a construct using the += operator.
-It passes the basic test of building packages without failing with the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable set to parallel=8 as well as unset on squeeze and lenny.
