Well, for openSUSE, we build all packages at once, and it takes a very long time, like an hour and a half, for about 80 packages. That's an average build time of a minute per package, big enough to make a difference with parallel compilation. I actually haven't tried though, convincing pkg.m to add extra flags wasn't documented and seemed left out. Packaging would benefit from being able to send config and make-time flags, besides the parallel compilation aspect. Things like CFLAGS, for instance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
