Ticket #30042 (closed enhancement: invalid)

Opened 23 months ago

Last modified 3 months ago

Feature request: more asynchrony

Reported by: dave@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: base Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port:

Description

My quad-core (8 HT) MBP compiles things really fast, but ports with broad and/or long dependency chains tend to take a long time to install, in part because downloading and unpacking never seems to be parallelized with anything else. It would be awesome if you could fix that.

Thanks for the great work!

I am closing this report as it is not specific enough and does not propose solutions. Parallel fetch is already tracked in the ticket noted above.
