having too few packages to build is not a problem we need to solve... Yet having too many packages seems to be a problem that OBS cannot solve.
About architecture: Last night I had "just an idea"; maybe for the far future or even impossible... Anyone remembers SETI@home ? Could it work, to use the computers of willing community members or sponsors for OBS build tasks in a way, the SETI@home project uses the computers of many people and enterprises around the world ? I have not enough knowledge about the current architecture, to evaluate this. If it would be necessary to transfer a new virtual machine and ten thousands of packages for every build task from the server to the client, that would not work. But if I choose to install at my computer an appliance for building packages for openSUSE 12.1 x86 or for Fedora 17 x86_64 and get only new/changed source packages for building ? regards Hendrik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
