$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kmihelich', 'W')e have asterisk in the repo, though it may be getting a little old at this point.
The only ways to appreciably speed up package building are:
1. distcc compilations to a cross-toolchain on a fast x86 computer
2. run builds on a SATA attached drive, USB induces a ton of IO wait
3. create about a 1GB file in tmpfs (thus RAM) on the x86 host, export over iSCSI as the swapfile for the device
After building thousands of packages, that's really it. There's only so much faster you can go on these small devices.
Can pogo pro attach an SATA drive directly from its SATA port, or need to also get a USB external drive?
If first option is ok, how to get the power for hard drive?
