From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Wolfgang Apolinarski To: development@lists.ipfire.org Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Parallelized build for several packages Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 20:18:05 +0100 Message-ID: <20190220191806.2917-1-wolfgang.apolinarski@ipfire.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============8732072073674154947==" List-Id: --===============8732072073674154947== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit With this patch, I tried to optimize the build (because it really takes a long time if I compile from scratch for testing). Nowadays, most packages are already optimizing for parallel build. I was testing the build on an 8 core system (i.e., MAKETUNING is -j9). I also found out something else, the collectd package build crashes when libstatgrab is already built: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/issues/445 Someone else already noticed this on the list, without discovering the cause. An upgrade of collectd would be required to solve this problem. Since I am not sure for what collectd is actually used (and a major upgrade would be required), I did not perform this.

I performed multiple builds (and tested the ISO image), so I hope that this patch is reliable for everyone. Nevertheless, please test the patch on different build environments before applying it.
