distcc

Having a distcc package would be most excellent.  And having a distcc feature for makepkg would be nice as well

Re: distcc

There's a new distcc package.  I have also figured out a (imperfect) way of getting it to work with makepkg.  This is very very cool.  Contact me (preferably email) if you want to know about it.

Re: distcc

i use this
on makepkg.conf
export MAKEFLAGS="-j 6"        < 3 cpus i think its advised here

export CC="ccache distcc"
export CXX='ccache distcc g++'      < i forgot this one

i use .bashrc of the user that compiles to put this
export DISTCC_HOSTS=' slave ip slave ip slave ip '

results :

fist time no ccache no distcc compiling mc on a p3 800

real    2m15.713s
user    0m34.303s
sys     0m24.332s

now using ccache and distcc fist time results here improved becouse of the slave machines being used to

real    1m28.413s
user    0m36.111s
sys     0m26.192s

now the fun part ccache in use

real    0m56.507s
user    0m35.813s
sys     0m24.762s

and yes i raw in to this post by chance

Re: distcc

Man, distcc is a lot of fun
It wasn't any real hassle setting it up, and it's a pleasure when compiling on a older machine...
