Observe ASDF_CONCURRENCY about asdf-ruby HOT 3 OPEN

Hello, I run into this today, does this accept PR or maintained or whatever?

from asdf-ruby.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of asdf managing the concurrency settings. What if a user wants to use different settings Ruby and another setting for another asdf plugin?

In any case a user has to set something, either:

export MAKE_OPTS="-j <cores>"

export ASDF_CONCURENCY="<cores>"

Thoughts?

Hey @Stratus3D.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of asdf managing the concurrency settings

The official docs suggest that it should be supported:

https://asdf-vm.com/manage/configuration.html#concurrency

Note: the environment variable ASDF_CONCURRENCY take precedence if set.

If the plugins don't observe it, then there is no point in its existence, I suppose.

What if a user wants to use different settings Ruby and another setting for another asdf plugin?

It should be as simple as you suggest, no?

$ export ASDF_CONCURRENCY=<cores>
$ asdf install ruby

To clarify why I'm asking about this setting. The default options set MAKE_OPTS="-j $(num_cpu_cores)" which makes the recent i9 i13900 CPUs unstable and prone to segfaults. Only after reducing concurrency to -j 16 was I able to compile Ruby using asdf and rbenv.

If major plugins such as asdf-ruby do not intend to support ASDF_CONCURRENCY, perhaps it should be removed from the official docs.
