Feature changed by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #324909, revision 3 Title: speed up staging setup and rebuild Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Staging projects have to rebuild quite often which takes a lot of time and resources. Maybe OBS could speed that up by taking some shortcuts. Some ideas by an unqualified external: * using ccache to speed up rebuilds without source changes. Could be implemented by project or project group for example. * have some cloning feature that also copies binaries and does not lead to immediate rebuild. That would allow to setup a new staging or rebase one in no time by cloing all packages including their binaries from rings. Discussion: #1: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2018-06-07 07:31:12Z) Just some first comments regarding ccache: * We have already ccache support in build script, but we don't transfer files between builds * transfering ccache files between builds means we need more disk space and network IO. Esp. disk space is very limited atm in openSUSE. + #2: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2018-06-07 07:32:22Z) + What makes staging projects special here btw? Or is this just a generic + way to speed up builds? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/324909
