Description Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2007-01-23 16:16:12 UTC

I'm trying to compile firefox 2.0.0.1-r2 on a rather slow machine using distcc. My distcc config has the hosts:
"powermachine mediummachine localhost"
and
MAKEOPTS="-j7"

Normally, this works flawless. But Firefox seems to set MAKEOPTS to "-j1" and therefore my "powermachine" completely(!) compiles Firefox for my slow machine. The problem with that: my "powermachine" must compile all firefoxes in the network ... and is at it's limits ... while the other computers are sleeping (ok, they are sending the files to "powermachine", but thats it, no compiling at all)

To make a long story short:
If an ebuild sets MAKEOPTS="-j1" explicitely, it has to disable FEATURES="distcc" to avoid that localhost is idling around.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. distcc-config "machine1 localhost"
2. FEATURES="distcc" emerge mozilla-firefox
3. DISTCC_DIR=/var/tmp/portage/.distcc distccmon-text 5
   -> all compilation on machine1
