hi all,
I have a probably silly question;
How is it about building several packages from /usr/pgksrc at the same
time in multiple consoles on the same machine from the pkgsrc?
e.g.:
I build A, which requires C in console 1. The dependence to C will be
discovered at some stage of the building process, thus C is built and
intalled also.
Meanwhile, logged in on console 2, I decide to install B, which also
depends on C.
What happens if
(i) the install process on console 1 hasn't yet got to the the point
when it comes to install C when the process on console 2 already has?
(ii) both processes decide at (nearly) the same time, that they depend
on C and decide to build it?
Please note that I'm aware of what _real_ processes are, and I
apologise for the improper use of the term "process". (#define process
"The way something is done")
TIA and best regards,
Chris
