I'm looking forward to it. You guys (portage-devs) did a great job with parallel-fetch, ccache, and distcc support. I know a number of packages where my -j5, RAID 5 system actually spends more time in ./configure than make, make install, and ebuild merge total. I'm not ready to patch my portage, but let me know as soon as it's in ~amd64 portage and I'll turn on the feature and report any breakage. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
