It depends on how you build. 38 hours can be quite normal for a total TDE build on debian in clean root environment. It depends on machine power and network connection when looking for packages. Keep in mind local build and clean chroot pbuilder builds are quite different!

Thank you Michele,
I never knew there could be such a drastic difference in build time. I too would use a clean chroot build environment and start with the dependencies needed for qt3, tqtinterface, arts, dbus-tqt, dbus-1-tqt, qca-tls, etc... through koffice. I guess the Arch a deb build systems are just that different.
Question, distros like openSUSE are dropping python2 (completely). What will happen to packages like python-tqt and any others with a python2 dependency? I guess the only issue would be if a non-backwards compatible python feature was being used. I don't write in python so I don't have a feel for if it will even be a problem. Does TDE build against py3 only?
