Well, my use of 'boinc' is: use whatever cycles there are free in the machine. The limit by load in nix builds make calls, brings that notion to the nix build: "use whatever cores there are free". There is clearly a collision in what cores should be considered free. I want to tell the system: first, nix builds. Then, if there are free cycles, boinc. > Of coucrse you can force by overwriting the make command line being > used, and you can force a different target load (greater than num > cores). Double the number of cores would work, but could make nix spawn double the jobs it should in some cases. Better ideas? :) _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
