I'd have to test them. ;) It's possible, but not sure how possible. We are putting together budgets for next year now, but not sure if we would be able to get SSD's for this. I'm not sure also how big things are. ie, all the unpacked package sources. We could find out, but will take some investigation. > > I think before we go looking into hardware requirements, we should > > discuss the software? Whats it written in?

We are very heavily a python shop here, I don't know if any of our applications folks have really done much with go, but I'm sure they will chime in if they have. ;) > > We would want it packaged up as rpms for deployment, preferably for > > epel7 (to work on rhel7 hosts). > Yeah, I’ve heard about that, and it shouldn’t be a problem, I think.

There would also be questions around processing the source... in debian do you unpack all the source debs? or ? Do you follow just some branches of packages? Or all of them? Or just some arches? Is this just upstream source? or the source + any local patches? Lots of questions... hope I'm not asking too many dumb ones. ;) kevin
