Your poudriere.conf is written as PARALLEL_JOBS=4. Combining this with writing MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER:=4 in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/*make.conf, load average reaches 16. If you are concerned about that load average reaching 16, you need to adjust PARALLEL_JOBS and MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER. If it only rise up to about 4, problem will remain somewhere.
There are some parts of bsd.port.mk that are not supposed to use -j, so using .MAKE.JOBS will make things go wrong. Some ports have problems with parallel build. (e.g. devel/doxygen has MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes) I think .MAKE.JOBS will not follow it. If slow port builds (e.g. cmake, llvm, qt5-webkit, texlive-texmf or etc.) hinder others, load average will temporarily drop. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
