Bug 18038 – inclusion of distcc & gcc on the livecd (not the same as the other distcc suggestions)

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Johan Van den Neste 2003-03-23 07:36:53 UTC]

this is obviously low priority.

the situation is:
- you're on a lan
- you're the only one running gentoo
- the other systems are often not used during extended periods of time.

quite a few people seem to be in this sort of situation.

how feasable would it be to get distcc and gcc on the livecd (in a ready to use state) so i can pop the cd in a remote machine, boot from it, and use the cpu for building packages on my system?
(at least a few people on the mailing list were thrilled by the idea)

I like this idea too :)
It would make it alot easier to use other machines to help with compiling :)

LiveWire, this would be an interesting livecd profile.

yep, i really want this working, and had talked to distcc ppl about it a few  
weeks ago. 
Just gotta get the time.
