... if FreeBSD has building cluster for packages, why not just record
time to build each package and use this value(s) for approximation of
time left? :o)
I know that build time is dependent on CPU, disks etc., it was just my
thought to publish the time needed to build on FreeBSD building system,
so people can easily find that package X needs 10 times more than
package Y etc..
