If "self hosting" and "minimal" is the issue here, than you always have the option to install a local buildservice on your machines. OBS is even opensource, so feel free to improve the "slow algorithms" and the "buggy code", that results in a "borked" service. We are heavily looking for developers and testers in this area.
To work for free, while you earn a salary? I will be happy to hear a job offer which includes a competitive salary.
Otherwise, if it is a service that is commonly used, it has to serve many needs. So individual needs may not be 100% satisfied.
You miss the point. A minimal self hosting repo would be useful to a wide audience, not just a few. It seems to me, OBS developers are defensive of their own turf, and do not see the big picture. The scheduling "power" Adrian mentioned is academic; the reality is: OBS is TOO SLOW. Better code is not the only solution. You need a better practical approach. Split the big opensuse project into smaller sub projects. That may not improve scheduling speed, but think beyond the code. If people won't use opensuse/OBS, because the repo is 3000+ big, and unwieldy, there's no point of working hard on code. Try not to hide from yourselves, the fundamental needs which are obvious to everyone else. -- Webmail for Dialup Users http://www.isp2dial.com/freeaccounts.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
