[::60a1:5ec5] But I suppose this is not ambiguous: brackets in the host part are an IPv6 name, brackets after it might be a process limit. [::60a1:5ec5][4] Another option would be just to allow random per-host named parameters, but I think the number of processes is important enough to deserve its own syntax. foohost,n=4 foohost,n=4,timeout=30,weight=3.2 -- Martin __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
