I'd document it if I had more of as clue what I was doing. Do you know how to get the process to respect MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=32 ? (I mean I'm happy to have to put everything on one line rather than setting variables in src.conf or make.conf, it's just that it used to work and now does not, so am interested in *The Right Way*(tm) to do what I'm trying to do). Many thanks, -- J.
