When we do parallelism, we'll do it properly. The features will probably come in this order: * Flexible output logging. Theoretically user configurable, but not documented so we can change config file formats etc as we see fit. This'll be in 0.36. * Documentation and stability for the above. Either 0.36.something or 0.38 depending upon how much we need to change what I have currently. * Parallel --sync. Again, 0.36.something or 0.38. This one's easy; it's just handling the output cleanly that's a pain. * Ability to have a single fetch thread running in the background whilst doing builds. Probably 0.38. * Ability to have multiple fetch threads running, with smart "don't hit the same host in parallel" behaviour. Sometime. Maybe. Not sure that this is even a good idea, since I suspect mirrors are faster than users. * Ability to build multiple binary packages in mostly-parallel, and install said packages in serial. Sometime later. But I might change my mind. Some of the above was originally scheduled for 0.10. -- Ciaran McCreesh
