For a headless server, there's no reason to build any of the kde-* or gnome-* ports or, indeed, X itself. I suspect that we could easily trim 2/3 of the build time by omitting ports that have a GUI, GUI toolkits, and so on. Yeah. My point was more that poudriere can't do that now and I would rather not add all that special-case logic to it. Clever make.conf logic might be able to do it. > > Longer term, we may be able to share the build time a bit. Ports which don't have a WITHOUT_X11 flag and don't unconditionally depend on X11 can potentially be pre-seeded from the normal package build (if we can identify them). That only leaves the ports that actually have build-time conditional X support to build in the no-Xorg run. Yup! I have a patch for that in the works. > > DavidReceived on Thu May 29 2014 - 10:42:12 UTC
