It is an estimate (a prediction) so it's subject to change. > Could the concurrent gnutls merging have > affected it? Surely not. Probably, I don't know if genlop takes that into account. But there's countless factors that affect build time that it's practically impossible to predict accurately. So it means nothing. Does that estimate even look reasonable to you? gnutls compiles in a few minutes but gcc takes significantly longer for me. > > Nothing else was running, apart from some file copying between external > disks. > - -- Fernando Rodriguez -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJXng/BAAoJEPbOFX/5Ulwcaw0P/07UJDhxAOhNp3NAf8awSMcR L8dIzDmssiABhyCH5GLCafSDujNelooOxvyy+Skf2BbNMSQk2gOiAOxjMQZSOmzC Sa8zh4PhfyV7jtsKLzjFFpuDHMJTH5Px9N3tvUfRuPSh6gtsmb1W+sD6AZr82KQI VwgH+QDLlO3jYkZGgyryIJXcL69QP1pspfBJ08iJk8y8hXbPla55aEmmrEI5HUsT 4LdineirvKYgDpMpErOoMgkZGy4BrUvPwVKyFmsHiB8byHl/Hcvsnb8tcyrrMpJ3 PU2QPpa/EcBiljlBiiE+ApSJHwOuv/ZMhltfYki/W1kdQHB9THN7sEdpDcjZUCs6 lKEAPe35nOizNoCMhHo1zFOB/5K6f2oLKdz/WP910eJ4CZkgWYyHvRCZJMN6jWZ1 AkwG9hcSQ+N7FAxXIQw15NLA9uky/vFOueu/NupUR6cJH1CmIBKZYe63PuTik2o6 3GIes2lHRUHroyCLnsfc9hxILXrzKkHEwFlgrtr6PhPPkchgqxBSHuB5hY5HfM1P cLgj9bj92sZLqwmImK/IRLn964119me2VEg8m1zYEAZLKuDsuAPrw2QtwO1W1APr ztok+sHWu51y36iC0oFBDuWKZG+612J1RfRZGgFXh0Vanh/dRjhLuUY8yuHB+Cka yEPhTh2DnZ8/MViBt1kt =a3yM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
