Hi there,
I see that you are submitting many requests to let openSUSE packages build in parallel. I am a little surprised that it is needed, I thought the build service was powered by icecream which was magically dispatching build jobs as needed. Or am I far off track?
no, icecream is not used due to security reasons (our xen instances have no network interface on purpose and neither icecream nor gcc can be considered to be safe against an attack). However, most systems build with -j4 on their local cpu's.
Now, if parallel build should indeed be added, I would have expected it to be handled globally rather than on a per-package basis.
A package is using it, if you use the %jobs macro behind your make call.
Can you please clarify? What problem are you trying to solve, where do we come from and where do we expect to go?
Thanks,
