[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#578312: atlas: please support parallel building

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: atlas
Version: 3.8.3-20

Hi,

atlas takes a very long time to build. On my setup, the 10 packages
that take the most time are (with build duration in seconds):
axiom 7036
qt4-x11 7050
python3.1 7255
gcc-4.4 7774
installation-guide 8141
mysql-dfsg-5.1 8445
life 9397
openoffice.org 11265
insighttoolkit 14791
atlas 29688

So atlas is the winner, with a large margin.

Please support building the package in parallel to leverage multicore
CPUs or SMP systems (see policy 4.9.1 for details).
