First build took a few day, and was aborted by several packages which didn't complete. I've never considered the whole tree, but started from the GRP sets and worked from that to things I felt "sane and well". Most of this was requests from a newly converted (from RedHat 9) Gentoo user and her wishes. "I want this" . "Where is that?" . "Is there an application to do Foo?" , And this turned out to introduce a rather normal set of dependencies. > does it still occur ? It is a manual process as I have to sign and upload things. Most parts are scripted, and it only requires a few commands, but still has to be manually overseen as to regards to bugfixing. Each day the whole system is wiped, and a new buildroot is grabbed from portage, and then rebuilt. in cases where the old binaries match in version with the new ones, they are used, in all other cases the packages are rebuilt. > I hope you don't torture a lonely single CPU on this ;-) I do. > I suppose distcc and ccache can be quite important helpers in this > project, right ? Actually ccache isn't that much help, as I don't need to recompile many packages, however ccache is quite nice, when connectivity works. Sometimes it is in fact hindering. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature! See Microsoft KB Article Q265230 for more information. end
