Getting some more big multi-processor servers would help out OBS a lot, but I think that $8000 isn't going to help us much there :(
I wonder how hard it would be to create a distributed system where random people could temporarily donate CPU resources.

How would you confirm that they are not malicious?
Exactly, that's a *HUGE* trust problem. Someone with root or physical (hence root) access to a build server can inject malicious code into the resulting packages. So we can only use trusted hosts from trusted parties. For build.o.o, it's all hosted by Novell, but for Packman that issue is even more critical as we rely on a few people providing us build hardware. -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf
