Hello With the opensuse build service [obs] getting more usage every day I wonder if this would make a diffence :-
1. Use solid state disks [ssd] to improve build times of package rpms on, perhaps point the BuildRoot or _tmppath to the ssd's
Reason for asking. Improve the packaging times during busy times on obs.
Cheers Glenn.
Unfortunately there is a cost associated, but it would be cool to get a bunch of fusion IO cards and see how they perform.
The laptop I do all my builds from before submitting to OBS has an SSD in it, and I must say, it's delightful :) % osc build --ccache And I'm off to the races! That said, this is a simple Corsair X64, I've priced higher quality SSDs for servers before and it's a good jump in price from standard laptop SSDs still :( Cheers - R.
