Hi, I'm interested in building stuff for VAX systems. The current NetBSD install images (fresh builds with a number of patches---people are working on getting them upstreamed) seems to build quite happily, either with gcc-10 or gcc-12. Based on that, I'm trying to setup bulkbuild. Got it compiled and started it in a `screen`, all in a SIMH environment (ie. it's a simulated VAX system.) The goal here is, in the end, to run this in conjunction with distcc and/or a number of such SIMH instances in parallel. My understanding is that bulkbuild would support both. It's now in the "Scanning..." phase and manages to "scan" about 250 packages per day, with a total of nearly 20k. So it'll be scanning for about three months, give or take. Are there ways to speed this up? By doing it parallel on several hosts, or create the scan result (I gues it's inter-package dependencies?) on a different (faster) host and then let the VAXen do actual build work (possibly proxying the compilation work through distcc)? Thanks, Jan-Benedict --
