Distcc is used to speed compilation time. But the point is that even if I set |
5 |
distcc hosts to not be on the localhost (ie, just compile remotely and only use |
6 |
localhost to manage the whole thing)... it still takes way too long. Plus, |
7 |
many packages don't compile with distcc, will compile localhost only. Plus, |
8 |
many parts of the emerge are not distributed, like ./configure, etc... |

I mean, installing a binpkg is already slow on my PCs, imagine the compilation |
11 |
(yea, i am very patient). That's why I purchased the VPS to compile and make |
12 |
binpkg... One day I might purchase a second VPS and set distcc between the two |
13 |
(a binpkg farm?)... but until then distcc is really near useless in my setup. |

Only exception to what I just said is with the kernel, which I always compile |
15 |
with distcc. |
