I prefer the latter behaviour but the former brevity. Would you consider something like -J in dpkg-buildpackage adjusting parallel= in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, and perhaps in the future phasing out -j? > Actually Makefiles that do not support parallel builds and do not > declare so with .NOTPARALLEL: are buggy, because upstreams do not > have any standardized opt-in way to honor a parallel build request. Now that rules files have to be makefiles; I wonder if this should be clarified in policy, one way or the other. That is: should debian/rules be assumed to support parallel building by default, or not? I imagine the saner default for us would be not (even though I am a big fan of parallel builds). -- Jonathan Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
