Still, since debian doesn´t have something like %_smp_mflags some setting in pkgs meta would be the easiest since one then doesn´t have to modify the original package (if one imports a debian / buntu package).
A correct Debian package will check for the environment variable DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and one can disable parallel make by setting it like this:
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=1
I'm not sure how commonly Debian packages implement this correctly, but even if some package would fail to do so fixing that is trivial even for somebody not familiar with the package.
Please add something like this
Just supporting setting environment variables from metadata would solve the parallel builds issue and might have other useful use cases. Well, OBS is open source so just asking for more features might not be the fastest approach to get it done. Unfortunately I have no clue, which parts of the not so small source to look at. If somebody could give a hint.
I would implement this via a prjconf feature. Something like
IMHO prjconf is the wrong place since that would be all or nothing for the whole project. It should be in the packages meta so parallel builds can be disabled just for a single package while building all others still in parallel.
ParrallelBuildJobs: 1
Support for such a keyword would be needed to get added to the build script:
git clone git@gitorious.org:opensuse/build.git
Have also a look at the commit which introduced parrallel build for debian:
cd8192f0e9cf89e76e9f3dca6d6400018f7028f4
and leave parallel builds enabled.
