I have "--jobs --load-average=12" in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS and override this for known problematic packages in /etc/portage/package.env. For example: % cat /etc/portage/package.env/libreoffice app-office/libreoffice j4.conf % cat /etc/portage/env/j4.conf MAKEOPTS="-j4" Running MAKEOPTS="-j1" as default on a multi-core processor seems an awful waste of resources, unless it is needed for something else, in which case I don't run emerge at all. -- Neil Bothwick Excuse for the day: daemons did it
