Britney in 5 minutes
About 26-28 hours ago in #debian-release on IRC:
<nthykier> damn, a britney run in 5 minutes <adsb> they happen <adsb> you've been spoilt by never seeing b1 at her "finest" *cough* <aba> you mean, running for more than a day? <Ganneff> adsb wants night-long runs? <aba> I can remember runs where we had to block certain packages to make sure the run could actually end *sometimes* <adsb> I'm quite happy with just the memory of that sort of run, thanks :P <nthykier> I don't mind being spoiled if it stays at 5 minutes :P
I took the liberty of collecting the resulting data for the Britney test suite. In its reduced state[1] in runs in 30 seconds on my machine. It is already my favourite live data sample in the test suite. :D
[1] Only i386 and amd64 are considered, manual hints are ignored etc.
