RFE: weighting for available build servers
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:18 EST
Submitted noarch jobs seem to be built on the ppc build server, which is the slowest of them and a potential bottleneck. It'd be better to have them built on hammer{1,2,3}
adding dan.
They will build on the first available builder, which happens to be ppc1 right now . There's no ordering to the builder list or preference weights for builders yet. While that's simple to add, would depsolving help out here? If the rush to get a job done is so you can start another job that depends on the first one, I think depsolving would fix this since you could just queue both jobs and walk away.
Yeah, depsolving helps in some cases. This is not that urgent at the moment, changing to RFE for future "rush hours"; for example it could be beneficial to have this implemented a bit before FC5 time when there's prolly going to be a lot more builds going on than right now.
Should be in CVS HEAD, won't make it to STABLE_4 since it requires a config file format change.
