OTOH, monster projects like windows:mingw:win{32,64} seem to be preferred for some reason. At least, they built several hundred packages during the last two days, while _none_ of mine.
Douglas, see, it still can get worser.
We'll have to be patient and should be happy, if it finally builds something for us, too..
This is a problem we discussed just yesterday - we see it too and want to solve it, but we're unsure how. One thing to do surely is to clean up stuff that noone touched for years. Adrian sent around a list of projects to get rid of repositories, but so far it wasn't yet done - but this will only help a bit. There are two some key facts about the dispatching: - repositories that see a lot of downloads are preferred - projects that create a lot of load get punished - packages that were touched in the last 24 hours are preferred The number of downloads that are the base of the priorities, you can find here: http://www.suse.de/~coolo/repo.list You have to scroll a lot to find home:sipfoundry - which leads to the fact that it doesn't get _any_ priority. It's just one of many home projects and as such it gets build power only when everything else is finished (not exactly that black & white, but towards that). That windows:mingw:win32 gets _so_ much build power shouldn't happen either (its openSUSE_Factory repo #1279 in the repo list, so it's ok if it's build more often than random home projects not downloaded, but it should get a "fair" share, which I guess is less than what it gets right now). One additional thing we discussed was prefering projects that have recent changes assuming that it's more likely that people look at it. home:sipfoundry:4.4 is a good example: The packaged changed have all built, but one scheduled package blocks the others and the final pushing - frustrating the one wanting to test the change. In this case, the scheduled one should get a little higher priority because it's in a project together with recently changed packages. At least higher than all these kernels and libqt4 packages that people linked into their home projects a year ago ;( BTW: the dispatching didn't change and the priorities have been this way for a long time, but we see a lot more packages building now as we're more relaxed in what packages we checkin into openSUSE:Factory, so a lot of repositories building against openSUSE:Factory create a lot of build jobs - and if these repositories are even downloaded, they get preferrence. This might be something we have to decrease.
