Mmm, wasn't trying to pass judgement there - I'm sure the OpenSuSE package maintainer will take a patch to enable it in the spec file there if its not in place.
---- Wouldn't bet on it... I tried to get them to NOT issue a disabling patch for default parallelism in upstream sort, and they said not unless I could prove it wouldn't cause a a hang in their build process (when it was first implemented, their algorithm had a few problems due to default buffer sizes on linux), but that was 2 years ago and O.Suse still won't enable it - but you can specify that you want parallel sort with every invocation -- which doesn't help for 3rd party progs that just call sort (like updatedb) -- unless you modify them as well.. They also don't support build packages via source on a opensuse installation --- as it has "superfluous" packages installed, and they don't want to test for interactions anymore. I felt even if they wanted a cleanroom for production -- they could still do rpmbuilds with a a clean-distro devel install as a test step that things worked together, but it seems like they are moving away from supporting direct development or building of packages except via a special cleaned root. Disappointing. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
