[openFATE 307841] distributed computing for build service
Feature added by: Adam Mizerski (etamPL) Feature #307841, revision 1 Title: distributed computing for build service Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Adam Mizerski (etampl) Description: Facts: Build service is overloaded. Now there is about 5000 packages in i586 waiting queue and the same in x86_64. Few days ago it was 3000, so it's growing. My idea: Distributed packaging using BOINC (http://boinc.berkeley.edu) platform. I think that for security reasons big and important packages (like kernel) should be build on OBS build hosts, but everything else can be distributed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307841
