eatmydata is not being used in the build chroot
We’re using eatmydata to speed up the build a bit. However, it’s not actually used for most of the build, since:
- we currently install eamydata via the first huge
apt-get install
run, so this one is not covered by eatmydata, which is too bad since it’s likely the biggest generator of disk writes; -
live-build
’sChroot
function cleans the environment and only passes through a few environment variables to the commands it runs. We need to make it forwardLD_PRELOAD
. And while we’re at it, we can as well forwardFAKETIME
, which will help when working on #5630 (closed).
