Hello,

Do you all use only a single machine to build ?
Does anyone use distributed build tools, like distcc or
other tricks.
  While building a sigle package can be "upgraded" to
distcc simply using the parallel make features and
redirecting the compiler, it should be useful if entire ebuilds
could be done in parallel.
  For example, when a package has two dependents they could
be built in parallel. This would be specially useful for
this packages wich doesn't build correctly with -j>1.

I have a lot of unused ghz in my lan which could do lots of
background jobs if they could be well distributed.
  I'm not thinking jet of a way to implement this (it should not
be very difficult) but I'm interested to know what
are the need, habits, testing methodology of the developers.

PS: for those who doesn't know distcc: http://ftp.samba.org/ftp/distcc/.
It preprocess locally and compiles on remote hosts.

If you share the filesystem with the sources, and have the same
set of libraries/headers on all machines then "makeitdisturbed"
offer better performance.
