It will transparently + replace the release package for installed apps that depend on the + release package, but should NEVER be used when preparing packages + for upload. This package may be created from the source using the + binary-dbg-py target in debian/rules.

The package + builds will automatically parallelise to suit the number of hosts + you have listed in DISTCC_HOSTS. This will work for both native + and cross builds of the c++ libraries, if you have the relevant + compilers on all your build hosts. + You may override that heuristic by setting the CONCURRENCY_LEVEL + environment variable to the number of jobs you wish make to fork. + That variable is also supported by the kernel-package scripts and + is respected for consistency here. + + wxPython builds cannot be parallelised at this stage and will run + serially regardless of your configuration. + -- Ron Lee , Sun, 13 Feb 2000 18:40:00 +1030
