Description mark0 2006-03-20 14:59:32 UTC

Hi,

I have big problems with mldonkey compiled with -threads"

Refused to connect with sancho / web interface ... when I emerge mldonkey with +threads -everything works fine now and faster ;)

Remove this USE flag from mldonkey!

I helped mark0 on IRC to find the source for his/her problems.
I was surprised that Gentoo compiles MLDonkey without threads
per default. This drastically hurts MLDonkey performance as
mark0 already pointed out. There is also no reason to disable
threads per default because this code is rock-solid and used
for years now. Gentoo should drop this USE flag completely ASAP,
MLDonkey configure activates threads if present (should be
the case on all Gentoo archs).

MLDonkey 2.7.5 made it into portage but the threads USE flag is still in there...
