For comparison a full "kitchen-sink" generic x64 kernel build takes about 25 minutes and uses 5-6Gb space on average for a full branch checkout and compile. I just backported Thunderbird 78 which has already been out for weeks because I was getting annoyed waiting for it: comrade@failbot:~/SRC/chunderbird$ apt-cache policy thunderbird | sed -n 2p Installed: 1:78.1.1+build1-0ubuntu1+motherland1 It took over 4 hours to build! And the size of it... comrade@failbot:~/SRC/chunderbird$ du -sh . 30G . Now I know how MJE feels every time he turns on his Gentoo computer and sees there are updates available :]openSUSE LEAP 15.2 is just on Thunderbird 68.10.
