So it took 2x4x10x96=7680 corehours to build 20000 packages, at an average of 7680*60/20000=23 coreminutes/package. And we get that on average one package takes 6 minutes on a 4 core machine. That makes sense. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
