Hello With the opensuse build service [obs] getting more usage every day I wonder if this would make a diffence :-
- 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 :(
