I have a laptop with a p2 running at 300mhz and 128mb ram. |
2 |
While this is enough for ssh sesions to other hosts at work |
3 |
and browsing the web, or even playing a film with mplayer, |
4 |
everytime glibc gets updated I start looking out for alternatives |
5 |
to building glibc on the laptop. It simply takes too much time. |
6 |
|
7 |
I run distcc to compile most packages on the laptop, and |
8 |
together with the 3 other gentoo hosts on my lan compilation |
9 |
times for most packages are acceptable. But glibc does not |
10 |
build with distcc. |
11 |
|
12 |
Is there an easy automated way to build huge packages such as |
13 |
glibc, xorg and mozilla as a tbz package on a fast system, using |
14 |
foreign C- and USEFLAGS, and then install the tbz's on the target host? |
15 |
|
16 |
And if not, how easily do you reckon this could be implemented in |
17 |
portage? I'm quite profficient in python, so I might give this a go |
18 |
in my free time if it did not require a near portage rewrite. |

Imagine a science-fiction device that allows any sort of food or |
25 |
physical object to be infinitely duplicated. If somebody then tried |
26 |
to sell you a tire for your car, why in the world would you buy it? |
