Hello tech! A friend is borrowing one of my machines to build the entire pkgsrc tree, a task that entails compiling more than 15k individual programs. This has taken 3 days, even on my modern and prepared amd64 machine! (to my surprise). This has me curious:
Every OpenBSD release includes an immediately-accessible source for prebuilt binary packages, meaning a similar feat involving building an entire tree of ports must be performed. How is this handled on platforms like vax or hppa? How long does it take using ostensibly decades-old machines? Ian
