Finding out why might be a good start. Ok, so I did a cvs checkout of the devel kernel last night and timed a simple 'make ppc'. That built both the UP and SMP ppc kernels, with all the associated -devel and -debuginfo packages. This was done on a dual-cpu G5 with 1.5 GiB of DRAM running F9. Gnome, Evolution, X-Chat, and Rhythmbox were running, but it was otherwise unused. The results: real 117m16.886s user 133m27.480s sys 20m47.314s How does that compare with koji builds? josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
