This is no longer the case for 14 for amd64 systems. The 140amd64 build system can now do a full build of packages in about 34 hours, well under 2 days, and most smaller builds run in a few hours. They do 42 parallel builds. This is a huge improvement and, I believe, that other build systems will be replaced over the next months to get similar performance. Since I have always used "latest", I have no idea of the status of the quarterly builders. Some time I want to walk through all of the build systems and see how many hare running on new metal. Unfortunately, pkg-status.freebsd.org still is not talking to the new systems. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 [-- Attachment #2 --] <div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">On Sun, Sep 8, 2024 at 1:01 PM Bob Proulx <<a href="mailto:bob@proulx.com">bob@proulx.com</a>> wrote:</div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Doug Denault wrote:<br> > Not to bury the headline I can not build a 14.1 workstation and can not<br> > believe I am the only one, but have seen nothing on this list.<br> ><br> > 1.
