Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2008-11-24 11:51:41 UTC 
I think that would be better being able to have a "JOBS" variable in make.conf like "MAKEOPTS", this way, if I set it to "2", emerge --jobs ... should try to run 2 jobs by default instead of all jobs it's able to. 

If user wants emerge to not limit the number of jobs that can run simultaneously, he could simply don't define this variable at make.conf

Other option could be that settings JOBS variable in make.conf would default emerge to use "--jobs=X" always

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always

You can set EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=X" in make.conf.

Ups, you are true, silly me, it was so simple... 

Thanks a lot for the tip!
