Distpar…

Distpar is a shell-script that I wrote to change the variables of the MAKEOPTS="-jN" option found in Gentoo's linux distro.

You must lanuch the script with 3 arguments. (package-name low-jN high-jN)
This script is extremly helpful for testing/optimizing the number of parellel processes to start on a distcc farm.
The script will backup your make.conf and replace it when finished; but make a copy somewhere else just to be safe.
The script outputs a file in your home directory that shows a list of compile times whith each -jN.
