Hi,
I also like this idea, but I think any build reports should also
include the envinronment (as seen by fink dumpinfo). Why? I enable
MAKEFLAGS (PkgVersion.pm) in my various fink installations, which
occasionally causes builds to break. I wouldn't want to report any
false-failure due to parallel-unsafe compiles. Admittedly, it's been a
long time since I've seen such a failure.
Taking this a step further, one could add an optional info field
like: "ParallellMakeUnsafe: true" To turn off MAKEFLAGS on per package
basis, and maybe leave MAKEFLAGS on by default for those of us with
*really* slow dual CPUs. :) From my testing, only a small minority of
packages are affected by parallel-make. With most Macs shipping with 2+
cores these days, informed users could more easily take advantage of
multi-processors.
