I'd take it further and do everything in parallel if possible. This would of course require expressing the dependency graph on a per-phase basis, and there would need to be limits on how many ports should be in a given phase at once (based on available bandwidth for fetch, available CPUs/RAM for build, etc). Something for MacPorts 2.0 perhaps. ;-) - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
