There are 4 phases to the build. - export, which has been all parallel whether you use PARALLEL_DIRS or DIRS for a while - compile, which is all parallel whether you use PARALLEL_DIRS or DIRS (it's been all parallel for a while, but recent changes moved things that weren't, and they are now because we have all the required dependencies) - libs, which contrary to its name, now doesn't have anything to do with libraries, and has been all sequential whether you use PARALLEL_DIRS or DIRS for a while. - tools, which used to do a lot but does almost nothing, now, and has been all sequential whether you use PARALLEL_DIRS or DIRS for a while. In other words, the distinction between PARALLEL_DIRS and DIRS is irrelevant. (It was still relevant before the change that moved things from libs to compile) Mike _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
