We don't have a way to express RAM usage to build a package, AFAIK the only available limit is toexclude some packages on some buildds; we could do exactly the same in a world supporting parallel=n. We could also tune the value on a machine like the one you describe. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
