[Reproducible-builds] Bug#832961: reprotest: please add support for building simultaneously

[Holger Levsen]

Package: reprotest
Severity: wishlist

Hi Ceridwen,

while reading the very interesting thread about variations for reprotest
(=congrats, nice work!), it occurred to me that it would be nice if reprotest
could do both tests simultaneously, either

- on two different hosts -b1node foo -b1port 4222 -b2node baz -b2port 22

or maybe even also on one host with --simultaneously and a --delay 60 to
start the second build 60s after the first. And probably default to 60.

Given enough RAM and CPU building twice in parallel should be faster
than sequentially…! :)


Thanks a lot for your work on reprotest, it seems to be pretty
impressive already in this short time! :-) I admit I haven't run it yet,
but now I have tried and have an excuse: I build 0.2 under jessie and
the package is empty except for changelog and copyright…

W: reprotest: latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-date
W: reprotest: empty-binary-package

latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-date seems like you have used
"dch" from the devscript package to edit the changelog :-)

Will file another bug about empty-binary-package (under jessie, it
builds fine in sid) too.

cheers,
	Holger
