Two days ago, I have checked in probably most requested feature of last
few years. Ports framework now systematically supports building ports on
multiple processing cores. It is achieved by passing -jX flag to make(1)
running on vendor code. Of course not all ports handle this well,
experimental run on pointyhat with this flag globally enabled turned up
shy of 400 failures. Because of that, the feature was designed as a
whitelist. Individual ports need to be enabled, and indeed, fellow
developers took on and already started adding required declarations to
popular ports like Firefox and others.
On a related topic, I wonder what the cost would be of acquiring enough
hardware so that the probability of actually getting a package with
portupgrade -aP would go up substantially. I imagine the time required
for the build servers to build packages with the above mod would go down
substantially.
