The only technical clean solution is to fix the debian packages, I think.
In an ideal world, yes. In real life it is very common that tools have to cope with broken software. Fixing race conditions a large package's makefile is not trivial, especially for somebody who basically doesn't know the package. On Tue, 22 Mar 2011 21:22:01 +0100 Stephan Kleine wrote:
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.
and leave parallel builds enabled.
