Actually, I already use only one jail, but I not= ice anyway that I have some parallel builds (one per cpu core I guess; I have two cpu cores and receive messages from a "red builder" and from a "green builder")= . I think that to have only one build at the time I should follow Shane Amble= r's instructions, however at the moment I do not feel the need for this: the on= ly long compilation time port with which I deal in poudriere is llvm (while I = need qt5-webengine and openoffice for regular use) and I have my little trick fo= r that.
