# MATSUU Takuto <matsuu@gentoo.org> (27 Oct 2011)
# Mask for testing
>=sys-devel/distcc-3.2_rc1

This package.mask entry has been in place for a long time.

Can you remove it and either let the affected versions go to ~arch or
remove them if they are broken?

Thanks,

William

Non-maintainer opinion: I use distcc 3.2(i need proper ipv6 support, which current ~arch lacks) for a couple of monthes and i do not find any problems to keep this package in masked state.

Comment 2 John Bowler 2014-09-22 18:01:43 UTC

3.2 supports the DISTCC_IO_TIMEOUT option, 3.1 does not; without this option distcc fails to build llvm; it times out compiling Function.cpp, see:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523392

3.2 has a 'crossdev' use flag that causes the install script to find the crossdev compilers and produces masquerades for them.  It seems to work correctly (ARM client -> x86 server).

I've verified use with 'crossdev -gnome' (gee, I don't want to have to build all that gnome support on an embedded system).  This is armv6j distributing to 64-bit x86 and using DISTCC_IO_TIMEOUT=600 and DISTCC_FALLBACK=0

I removed the mask due to requests on irc and the positive responses on
this bug.
