In terms of hardware: At the moment we have 17 active builders, which are armv5 512M machines. There are also a few others that are currently being used for testing and will be inserted back into the build farm soon; the full hardware list is 21 GuruPlugs, 1 OpenRD, 1 SheevaPlug, 1 BB-C4, and 1 BB-xM. There are also 15 PandaBoards on order, which should at least double the farm capacity because they should outperform the plugs (dual core, 1GB); if DigiKey's ship dates are to be believed, we're looking at having these online in early January. The main issue isn't so much build capacity as the manual chore of clearing up build failures. Most of this work is being done daily by Paul Whalen, and he's had some great help on key packages by Rick Mattes and others. That's definitely the place to put additional energy if we're going to accelerate things. -Chris _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
