For a long time I have had in make.conf |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --deep --tree --verbose --jobs --load-average=5" |
| 4 |
MAKEOPTS="--jobs --load-average=5" |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
(for previous processors the 5 was 3). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
It seems that this configuration fails for several packages (or tickles |
| 9 |
bugs in their ebuilds/Makefiles). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Lately whenever a build fails I change to |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
MAKEOPTS="--jobs=1" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
and this very often "fixes" the problem. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It is not clear that any time saved by having jobs=5 compensates for |
| 18 |
having to redo builds. So my question is do people |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
1. keep jobs=1 in MAKEOPTS |
| 21 |
2. have jobs=n in MAKEOPTS but degrade on error as I do |
| 22 |
3. have jobs=n and file bugs when it fails. |
