emergeing openjade-1.3.2 with DISTCC_HOSTS set and monitoring the progress using distccmon shows that openjade is only compiled on localhost.
I changed the title since there are more ebuilds that does not use distcc. So far I have found: openjade gle libgtkhtml Erik
Add xscreensaver to the list also...
Add Orbit to the list.
Ditto for zip
Also some ebuilds that uses libtool fail to distribute the jobs. For an example, emerge a2ps.
I'm going to close this and open a new metabug to hold a bunch of packages that don't use distcc (for whatever reason). See bug 26149 I've also managed to show that of your list these: app-text/openjade-1.3.2-r1 media-libs/gle-3.0.1-r2 x11-misc/xscreensaver-4.11 gnome-base/ORBit-0.5.17 app-arch/zip-2.3-r2 ignore distcc. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 26149 ***
