I don't think the point was ever to be accurate, but to give a rough idea. If OpenOffice.org is 1047 bash units, and bash takes 1.0 minutes on your machine, then you know *about* how long OpenOffice.org will take to compile. I don't think anyone is concerned with exact numbers so much as ballpark figures to give them a reasonable estimate of needed time. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Operations/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux Is your power animal a penguin? --=-35x6K2TpxY01M7jcbAIw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBQFeskT4lNIS36YERAlJ5AKCMWZs0NYfH9FStcxeGJrxDNH1/MwCcCRLz fwqQy2SBnB1Xp0kTrc4bRSo= =ZBOt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-35x6K2TpxY01M7jcbAIw--
