[Bug 1126328] Re: [MIR] eatmydata

[Michael Terry]

The package itself is fine.  There is a bug in Debian that will affect some builds:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667965

Also, there have been some upstream releases that haven't been packaged
in Debian.  Debian hasn't seen an update in two years.  But since there
aren't any super-bad bugs, in Ubuntu or Debian, I suppose it's fine.
The maintainer himself is still active.  Just hasn't updated this
package for some reason.

And a bug subscriber in Ubuntu would be nice.

Approved.

Title:
  [MIR] eatmydata

Status in “debootstrap” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “libeatmydata” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Please promote eatmydata to main.

  The reason for this request is to support bug #1126314, which requests
  debootstrap to make use of eatmydata to make installs and
  debootstrapping chroots 5 times faster.  This is a very simple
  LD_PRELOAD library that overrides fsync() and related calls to be a
  noop.  As such, it is extremely unlikely to have any security issues.
