Add eatmydata to the SUSE Package Hub


Type: optional
Severity: low
Issued: 2016-09-23
Description:
This update adds eatmydata to the SUSE Package Hub.

#libeatmydata is a small LD_PRELOAD library designed to (transparently) disable fsync (and friends, like open(O_SYNC)). This has two side-effects: making software that writes data safely to disk a lot quicker and making this software no longer crash safe.

This package is useful for increasing the speed of test suites and continuous integration builds.
