It can take several days for a build run to complete on pointyhat. There are only N processors to farm the work out to, and 12K ports to build, some of which (OpenOffice, some of the scientific ones) are immense. The current algorithm is naive: it just builds everything in the Ports Collection. For the build farm machines that run -current, add whatever time -current is broken (including the build chain) to that "several days" figure :-) mcl
