Nothing else building. This is a headless server, so I've no need to build something the size of libreoffice or chromium. I've noticed llvm10 takes a long time to build, but 8 GB seems plenty of memory for it. The -J option sounds like the way to go, provided I remember to use it next time. Or I could instead set PARALLEL_JOBS=1 in poudriere.conf but then build performance will suffer for every port, which isn't ideal. But perhaps there's an option to limit make jobs just for a single port, set in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf ? That would be nice. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
