Hi Ted,

can I ask you to add more build profiles to e2fsprogs?

In the light of #966330, it would help a lot to have a
pkg.e2fsprogs.no-static profile as a workaround until the situation with
util-linux is sorted out. The profile would be useful beyond as it'd cut
down in build time.

I also suggest adding support for the standard noudeb profile. A number
of other packages already support it. Doing so here adds consistency to
the archive and again allows cutting down in build time.

The savings in build time are small. But if you build e2fsprogs ten
times a day (as we do on jenkins), that cost accumulates. It's a drop in
the bucket, but a relatively simple one.

Do you think that these features are worth their maintenance cost?

If you deem the cost inappropriate, please close the bug after tagging
it wontfix. There is no use in having it stick around.

In any case, I'm attaching a patch for your convenience.

Helmut
