Description Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev

For bug #302688 I would like to switch the Blender ebuilds to use the scons-utils eclass.  While it does seem to handle --jobs and -j, I do not see handling of load average specification.

I am aware of four variations:
 * --load-average
 * --load-average=N
 * -l N
 * -lN

Any chance you could extend the eclass for it?

Err, five:

 * --load-average
 * --load-average=N
 * -l
 * -l N
 * -lN

Not really. Unless I'm missing something, SCons still doesn't support that, and the eclass should simply strip it. Doesn't it do that?

Looks like you're right -- awesome!  However, it seems I found a related bug in the eclass.  Let me open a new bug for that.
