That's a good point. What if as an alternative as part of this change, we used %make_build -j1 in the case where parallel building does not work? > Any -j1 tweaks should be *only temporary* so IMO formalising this kind of changes is pointless. > All parallel build issues should be treated *as critical bugs* which should be *ASAP fixed*. So are you saying that we should not document the %make_build -j1 convention and instead update the documentation to state that parallel build failures must be fixed? Even if we don't document this new convention, I still thing it should be used for this change, because I think having %make_build -j1 makes it obvious something is broken and more likely to get fixed. -Tom > > kloczek > -- > Tomasz Kłoczko | LinkedIn: http://lnkd.in/FXPWxH > > > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
