Feature changed by: Sankar P (psankar) Feature #308310, revision 2 Title: OBS - External workers / Project namespace dedicated Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar) Description: OBS is a great platform but often the queues are long and it's difficult to schedule any timely 'release' of a package. The main issue is the available build power.   Suggest to allow for 'external' workers to connect (authenticated) to the BS and act as workers. Preferrably an authenticated worker should be allowed to pick up packages where the authenticated user has maintainer rights (this eliminates pretty much the 'danger' of injection of malicious binary results: the owner of the worker has full access to the repository anyhow). Additionally it would be interesting if my 'worker farm' could be dedicated to one specific in order to plan the resources there (instead of it picking up any random package I'm maintainer, i'd prefer it favor a specific project I'm planning on having a release). + Discussion: + #1: Sankar P (psankar) (2009-11-06 12:24:15) + This is a much needed feature. Most of my time in build service is + spent in seeing "Scheduled"  + There are always 1000s of packages waiting in queue for i586 and + x86_64.

We would get different builds which differs (simply + due to the different hardware) this means also we can not compare + multiple builds so we can trust the build results at all. + We can't even not allow this for own projects, because it would lead to + the situation that you can't be sure that the sources for the binaries + are on the server. + We are however open for the situation when a larger amount of systems + is provided somewhere at one place and we can make a contract to build + the trust.

Letting people contribute local resources is a great idea, although I do see issues in maintaining/checking their configuration. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308310
