Description Bob Bell 2005-02-26 16:32:04 UTC

The instructions to monitor distcc say to run:
 DISTCC_DIR=`portageq envvar DISTCC_DIR` distccmon-text N

However, that does not work, because by default `portageq envvar DISTCC_DIR` does not return anything, so distccmon-text will look at ~root/.distcc/.  The alternative command:
 DISTCC_DIR=/var/tmp/portage/.distcc/ distccmon-text N
does indeed work.

I confirm this. might be offtopic but Bob, don't you think it's a bit impolite to say such and such "is bunk?" One thing I like about Gentoo is that it has always tried to maintain a civil and friendly atmosphere... it'd be a shame if that changed. thanks.
