Re: Is it safe to have two build sessions running in parallel

Put the following to your mk.conf:

PKGSRC_LOCKTYPE?=   sleep
PKGSRC_SLEEPSECS=   12

and build also pkgtools/shlock

Then it should be safe to run more build jobs in parallel.

You could also set

MAKE_JOBS=      2

or more if you have spare CPU.
