I certainly support the idea of running some tests with TLPB. However,
this implementation makes a confusion between two different settings:
- The existing BRConfigTest.jlevel, which is set by run-tests -j, and
used to define BR2_JLEVEL in the Buildroot configuration of each test
case. This determines the number of parallel jobs used to build each
independent package.
- Your new work, which uses "make -j" to do TLPB... but relies on the
same above value, even though it's a completely different setting.
Is this expected?
Best regards,
Thomas
