pbuilder performance

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,

I'm regularily building quite huge packages with large dependencies,
eg. libreoffice, using git-buildpackage. And it's really slow.

Is there any way for speeding up the builds ?

I'm already using cowbuilder, but it only seems to be able to use
an existing base system tree, while still needs installing all
the dependencies one by one.

Is it possible to do some similar logic with dependencies ?
(something like an tweaked dpkg that fetches everything from
per-package directories instead *.dpkg files and just hardlink
instead of copying) ?
