There is interdependency between several of the .spkg files (e.g. gmp -> ntl -> ..., and a lot of things depend on python), but once these are sorted out I'm sure you're right there could probably be a lot of building done in parallel. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
