That should just make slightly smaller executables. except for diskspace, it doesnt affect preformance. the symbols aren't loaded into RAM when executing the files, so thats not an issue. But I like being able to debug things. -fomit-frame-pointer is a nice performance giver in x86, but as it kills debugging its just as well to strip the binaries. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!

From `man emerge`: --buildpkgonly (-B) Creates binary packages for all ebuilds processed without actu- ally merging the packages. This comes with the caveat that all build time dependencies must already be emerged on the system. --usepkg (-k) Tells emerge to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) if they are available, thus possibly avoiding some time-consuming compiles. This option is useful for CD installs; you can export PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom/packages and then use this option to have emerge pull binary packages from the CD in order to satisfy dependencies.

They already have something like that, it's called GRP. -Original Message- From: Adrian Pirciu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 8:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] compile on other computer, emerge on mine This is most unexpected. THANK YOU !! But frankly.. you woudn't want to see the list :) (and there are also the daily updates...) . Anyway, I'm thinking of doing something like a local gentoo binary packages repository me and my coworkers. I think it would be easier for everyone. We would have the packages we need compiled for all the architectures we have around... Really.. somebody who has a fast link and some good cpupower should do something like this. I really like(d) the compiling thing and all and gentoo works perfectly.. but things are starting to bother me since all day long, I just compile, compile, compile. This is not suitable for this computer, and, of course, everything slows down, productivity decreases, etc... Maybe I'm not the only one with this problem (thinking about the laptop dudes also) and this would be a great time saving thing. Of course, things might easily get out of hand, since we can make a version with use=+gtk2 and another with use=-gtk2 :)). Hope this doesn't happen. I think that 80% of the users share the same use flags. Does anybody see anything that would mark this binary library as ineffective and/or bad ? Thanks again for the idea Allen ...
