Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev

Using --jobs can have pro and cons.

I would like to have an option that uses --jobs only in case of binpkg

Example:

"emerge -pv foo" gives me 30 packages to emerge. 25 packages are binpkg and 5 are standard. The option should emerge with jobs only the 25 packages while the other 5 should be merged without --jobs.

This is useful for tinderboxing
Thanks

How would you define interaction between the 2 types of jobs? If one non-binpkg jobs is running, are binpkg jobs allowed to run at the same time?

Yes, they should be allowed
