Howdy, I read where someone did this but I can't find it now. I looked at the wiki and did some startpage searches, no luck. Here goes:
I generally let emerge build packages in parallel. This works because a lot of packages are small and don't take long to build or much room either. However, there are a few exceptions. For me, Seamonkey, Firefox and Libreoffice cause issues. I would like those to build one at a time instead of at the same time. I've had times where all three have updates but having two of them at the same time occurs pretty regular. I thought I recalled this needing to be in package.env but my test didn't work. I put this in package.env: www-client/seamonkey MAKEOPTS="-j1" www-client/firefox MAKEOPTS="-j1" Since I'm here, you can guess that emerge didn't like that. So, either I'm putting that in the wrong place, the wrong way or something. Oh, I looked at the wiki and I didn't see things like this. I just went with what little I recalled which seems to be not correct. Can someone point me in the right direction here? Examples would be nice because I may want to disable portage on tmpfs as well, for Libreoffice at least. Thanks Dale :-) :-)
