Zitat von Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@phk.freebsd.dk>: > At the very least, do not commit your patch until you have managed > to come up with at least one instance of real world data where it > is a good idea. I followed the discussion so far, but I may have failed to see the obvious... What happens if "make -j X" runs in a situation where portupgrade gets called (e.g. a Makefile which runs some portupgrades in parallel for a set of ports (without overlapping in the dependency graph))? I assume from the discussion that the make which gets invoked by portupgrade (without -j) will connect to the FIFO and attempt to build some targets in parallel. Is this correct? If yes: we have some ports which aren't -j safe, so this would violate POLA. Bye, Alexander.
