Add support for distcc #216

Open GuillaumeSeren opened 1 year ago

GuillaumeSeren commented 1 year ago

Hey there, I am using ebuildtester again and it is nice the support for ccache, but my laptop is only 4 threads and I normally use distcc to speed up compilation (when it works).

I think it could nice to have this feature in ebuildtester, what do you think ?

I will try to prepare a small patch for this.

It sounds a nice idea, although I have some doubts about how much this would help in the case of short-lived containers. It's been some time since I used distributed builds, but I remind that distcc required more configuration and was a little bit more "pickier" than sys-devel/icecream. Is there a reason to prefer distcc over icecream?

@stkw0 Sorry for the delay, yep I think it definitely has a cost in term of dependencies, but I think it could be useful, the config is not so bad only a file in the /etc/disctcc/hosts

Feel free to open a PR. I think it would be easier to discuss it looking at a potential implementation.
