- Adding capability-based build scheduling to OBS (Alex' idea)
Many of the ARM boards have very limited amounts of RAM, like 256 or 512 MB. To broaden the number of build nodes it would be nice being able to add such build nodes for their CPU power but to avoid scheduling builds on them that are destined to fail due to required amounts of RAM. Possibly also forcing RAM-intensive builds to QEMU system emulation on x86/ppc. Apparently right now there is only a single "powernode" flag to prefer some build nodes.
Would there be any mentor for such an OBS extension? Adrian?
Yes, we would mentor it.
That feature should cover also some other use cases like used virtualization, network access, cpu features, product building, storage size and so on...
And for step 2, we should be able to create instance on the fly in a flexible way.
Thanks, I've added the following: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas#Capability-based_build_scheduling Feel free to improve on the description.
