Out of 130+ packages I maintain, only 3 of them fail to build with smp_mflags. That's roughly 2%. IMHO, the guidelines should be for the most common cases. If smp_mflags doesn't work with your package, no sweat, take it out and document it. But it should be the default, and all packages should try to use it whenever possible. ~spot -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
