I did work this summer to get parallel dependency handling working. It was pretty dirty, but it worked. I've been cleaning it up in my time off from school (I've had about 7 weeks off in the past year) and I'm actually hoping to have something workable done by the end of this week. My stuff also locks up pkgdb_dir and I patched pkg_add and pkg_delete to honor the locks. - Dave On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 1:11 PM, Garrett Cooper <yanefbsd@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 10:02 AM, Mark Linimon <linimon@lonesome.com> wrote: >> Short answer: with the current infrastructure, it isn't.
