We do plan to support clustering of the build service in the long run. So an external Build Service could reuse the base projects of the opensuse.org build service.
I think "clustering" is misleading here as we want to have a very loosely coupled system. We need methods which enable independent instances of the build service to interact with each other in a coordinated way. The main areas I see are: - Coordination of name spaces, so that there don't arise name conflicts between projects. - Synchronization of built packages for selected projects, so that base projects can be shared by different build services without the need to build them multiple times. - Maybe sharing of sources, so that one build service instance can link sources from another instance. I'm not sure what would the main use cases for this, though.
We are also open for short term hacks until the real distributed approach is implemented.
"Short term hacks" are a very long-lived species, so I guess we will be happier, if we can avoid them. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum@suse.de> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
