No real surprises here. The data was collected from the Buildd logs using the latest "maybe-successful" i386 or amd64 build. Factoring into that the varied nature of the buildd machine specifications make this is data somewhat unreliable.

It would be nice if someone could obtain (and post) results from a more, umm, controlled environment.

I'm not sure how you exactly got to those numbers. But here is what the amd64 buildd excelsior has.

You are missing Architecture:all packages (but those aren't built on the buildds). Some of them are nasty (e.g latex-cjk-chinese-arphic, takes 7-8h to build).

Buildds don't use DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=n". This helps a lot (if you have several CPUs) for the top packages (openoffice down to 4h, linux-2.6 down to less than 1h.

I’ll probably be able to rebuild all packages in Debian in ~4h, using 100 build nodes, at the end of january. I’ll post the top 10 then.

Can you provide the full list (or at least till the 50th entry).

@Lucas: Thanks, I thought this might stimulate someone into getting real data! Four hours for the entire archive is rather impressive..
