Hello list, I still can't see how portage limits the load. Today I'm emerging libreoffice, and it's spending almost the whole time working with 4 CPU threads. But:
$ grep -e '\-j' -e distcc /etc/portage/make.conf EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=18 --load-average=30 --backtrack=200 -- autounmask=n --keep-going --nospinner" FEATURES="distcc userfetch buildpkg network-sandbox parallel-install sandbox userpriv usersandbox" MAKEOPTS="-j18" I found a suggestion to use distcc in the installation handbook, which I hadn't seen there before, so I went searching for it and found how to do it. It usually works well, in this case starting 18 packages before starting LO itself. grep -rw doesn't find '4' anywere relevant under /etc/portage/ . Other times it just doesn't help at all. What am I missing? -- Regards, Peter.
