Hello, dpkg-buildpackage's -j option enables concurrency within "debian/rules" but it only sets the "parallel" option in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS for packages to act upon. So if it doesn't work in your case, it's because your package is not implementing it and not because dpkg-buildpackage is broken.
There's nothing to fix at the dpkg-buildpackage level, please file bug reports against the packages that would benefit from enhanced support of the parallel option. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994080 Title: dpkg-buildpackage doesn't use multicore CPUs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/994080/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
