Applying both patches works great for me (in the master branch...): make clean && make all real 3m6.863s make clean && make all real 0m54.836s (AMD PhenomII X4 955) +1 to apply +1 to remove the data/content/rss.html RH feed parsing. msgfmt in concurrency also would be nice (just to know that our build process is perfect:) ) -- KÃvin Raymond User:shaiton GPG-Key: A5BCB3A2 -- websites mailing list websites@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/websites
