I wholeheartedly support portmgr@'s desire to start taking care of it unless there are other sweeping changes pending on the queue. I just wanted to remind that -jX builds are long desired and once we have resources, we should bite the bullet and do it. On our side are number of GNU/Linux distros who had done this a while ago: either they have patches, of we can backport their versions MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes (i.e. it's a no-brainer) at least in the overlapping cases (read: popular ports). > All of this means that we can turn -exps far more quickly than we ever > have before. That's awesome! BTW, what about sparc64 boxen (several were offered via donations@) -- these days ports often get marked as BROKEN on sparcs, but our cluster does not seem to offer any for regular committers (contrary to ia64) to diagnose the problem/fix it. [1] [2] ./danfe [1] I am not even asking for jailed root access (yes, pun intended) to be able to install all necessary dependencies or (preferably) use marcuscom tinderbox. [2] Ditto for PowerPC.
