We're not gaining much by having that punish the syslog server. We can monitor the builders w/o needing all of the copious info that collectd provides. fas I'm not very worried about - though I suspect a couple of things will change w/how we get the dbs onto the hosts. > main issue is that today we are not 100% sure of how we will install > arm boxes. how do we deal with all the non puppet related systems?

So one thing I'm not sure I understand - why would we need so many arm builders? Is it b/c there are so many more arm archs so there will need to be more pkgs built? -sv _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure
