I wanted to share with others on the list something that I recently |
2 |
discovered with distccmon-gui. I found that when I travel to work and to |
3 |
home with my laptop, sometimes the distccmon-gui would be covered with |
4 |
red specks when processing jobs on remote hosts. I saw that they were |
5 |
always associated with the "connecting" phase but I could never figure |
6 |
out what the problem was because the job would eventually compile there. |
7 |
It turns out that the connecting phase is usually slowed down by the |
8 |
name resolution of the host, so if one of the entries in my distcc/hosts |
9 |
file just had a short name, instead of the FQDN for the host, it would |
10 |
show up red during connect as it tried to resolve the hostname. |
11 |
|
12 |
I don't know how many other folks might run into this, because, like I |
13 |
say, I really only noticed it on my laptop which sometimes gets the |
14 |
correct domain name (at home!) but not at other times, for a given host. |
15 |
|
16 |
Once you fix those, the distcc works great. |

HTH somebody else. |
