From 23ffaf8d5b6ac116b3f489c30fb57d32b1ca9c0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:54:31 -0500 Subject: Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because some buildds build with -j2 by default. --- debhelper.pod | 17 ++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'debhelper.pod') diff --git a/debhelper.pod b/debhelper.pod index 98aa422c..29687adc 100644 --- a/debhelper.pod +++ b/debhelper.pod @@ -219,14 +219,17 @@ directory path that is the same as the source directory path. =item B<--max-parallel>I<=maximum> -By default, the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable can be used to -enable parallel building, when supported by the build system. - This option allows controlling how many parallel jobs can be used in a -build.
