So providing the current distros with ppc binaries would not help very much, they also need a ppc compile cluster with appropriate power (the current x86 cluster has 128 compile nodes of AMD Opteron power - the ppc machine would need about the same).
Just to get a picture: are we talking original ~1.5GHz kind of Opterons or Dual Core 2.5GHz ones or Quad core 2.0GHz ones? Does 'node' refer to a complete machine or to a CPU core? One node at build.o.o is one single opteron core (since it used XEN virtualization, you do not exactly see the real hw behind). Maybe Adrian is willing to tell. I use 6 workers in the local OBS (2 x ppc 64 bit and 4 x x86-64 bit opteron cores). The storage is on another single x86-64 machine.
But I can provide you with a tool to copy complete projects with meta data from one OBS to another. I will send you in a separate e-mail.
Wow, thanks! So I'll be able to copy for example Education:/desktop from build.o.o and rebuild it for PPC. What happens if a software gets updated in the remote OBS? Is there an easy way to sync projects and only rebuild software when necessary? Staying with the above example: if only gcompris is updated, do I have to recompile only that or everything on the next copy? See my mail. Its OBS, so it recompiles only when changed.
Susanne said I should provide the script inside tools in OBS svn repository. I will before do some cosmetics.
