l wouldn't recommend allocating all of your cores to emerge, but emerging with idle priority keeps your tasks a little higher up in the mix. From: Laurence Perkins Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2023 3:26 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: RE: [gentoo-

Re: [gentoo-user] Controlling emerges

MAKEOPTS - for example I have a laptop that locks up (heat) on long compiles so reduce the number of jobs (rust and webgtk). The discussion asks about how to control emerge - appropriate per package -j and -l for the heavy packages should go a long way to doing what you want. On 19 September

That is where you set per package compiler parameters by overriding make.conf settings. BillK On 19/9/23 17:09, Peter Humphrey wrote: On Monday, 18 September 2023 23:44:50 BST William Kenworthy wrote: per package env variables? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/package.env Apropos
