6-8 hours seems like a long time for anything but an ancient system,
I'd expect a core 2 duo at that speed to take more like 3-4 hours,
(less if make -j3 is enabled). If ATLAS needs to be configured than
that can more than double the time though...

I have a similarly modest system and my experience with UBUNTU 10.10
has been that the standard set of packages takes about 8 hours, maybe
6 1/2
of build and 1 1/2 of testing and document building.
Anecdotal ? Yes, but 24h + to build some unknown package(s) is no
surprise to me (-:

You could monitor the log(s) as this build progresses.
You MIGHT see some re-curing error that is causing numerous re-tries,
etc.
Same comment on the scripts, they may retry without limit on
(partial)failure.
It might be worth editing to limit the re-tries, example Atlas gives
up after 5.

[sage-devel] Re: building sage took more then 24h now

2010-11-16 Thread mhampton
There are some pretty big experimental packages, so perhaps its
"normal".  But it doesn't seem like a good idea; some of those
packages have overlaps (vtk-related ones for example), and are hard to
build, so I think there's a good chance you'll get a bunch of broken
pieces.
