Funny that this discussion should come up here at about the same time as a very similar discussion on a Debian list :) IMHO, hardcoding the number of jobs in the port's Makefile would not be the best approach. I think a port should only flag whether it supports parallel building at all or not - and leave the number of jobs to either the ports framework or the administrator's choice. The ports framework may pick a value - ncpus, or ncpus+1, or ncpus*2, or something like that - but, again IMHO, the administrator ought to be able to override it in any case. Other than that, it's great that y'all are actually doing something about supporting parallel builds! :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This sentence every third, but it still comprehensible.
