Subject: [gentoo-user] Is 'MAKEOPTS="--jobs --load-average=5"' silly?
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:57:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sj3jw63e.fsf@nyu.edu> (raw)
For a long time I have had in make.conf
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --deep --tree --verbose --jobs --load-average=5"
MAKEOPTS="--jobs --load-average=5"
(for previous processors the 5 was 3).
It seems that this configuration fails for several packages (or tickles
bugs in their ebuilds/Makefiles).
Lately whenever a build fails I change to
MAKEOPTS="--jobs=1"
and this very often "fixes" the problem.
It is not clear that any time saved by having jobs=5 compensates for
having to redo builds. So my question is do people
1. keep jobs=1 in MAKEOPTS
2. have jobs=n in MAKEOPTS but degrade on error as I do
3. have jobs=n and file bugs when it fails.
thanks,
allan
PS I do not change EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS
