A few statistics from build.meego.com - using the OBS and building in qemu. These are really just approximate numbers, built in different times with probably a different load... I took Qt as an example as it's a package I know. ------ build.meego.com ------- http://build.meego.com/package/show?package=qt&project=Trunk armv8el build19 started "build qt.spec" at Sat Nov 5 02:09:33 UTC 2011. build19 finished "build qt.spec" at Sat Nov 5 03:01:43 UTC 2011. approx. 1 hour i586 build17 started "build qt.spec" at Fri Nov 4 23:33:24 UTC 2011. build17 finished "build qt.spec" at Sat Nov 5 00:05:03 UTC 2011. approx. half hour (1/2) armv8el vs i586 factor of 2 http://build.meego.com/package/show?package=qt&project=home%3Arrojfors%3Abranches%3AMeeGo%3A1.1%3ACore armv7el build42 started "build qt.spec" at Thu May 12 08:49:50 UTC 2011. build42 finished "build qt.spec" at Thu May 12 10:42:21 UTC 2011. approx. 2 hours i586 build11 started "build qt.spec" at Thu May 12 08:49:48 UTC 2011. build11 finished "build qt.spec" at Thu May 12 09:09:47 UTC 2011. approx. armv7el vs i586 factor of 4 ------ Fedora ------ i686 2012-02-20 14:31:51,510 - Mock Version: 1.1.18 2012-02-20 15:05:21,089 - State Changed: end approx. half hour armv7hl 2012-03-18 17:58:09,566 - Mock Version: 1.1.18 2012-03-19 04:53:07,593 - State Changed: end better not calculating... So probably using Qemu could speed it up quite a lot. Also OBS offers quite a lot of flexibility to decouple arch builds, disable selected archs etc. But I'm not sure about the processes for chain builds, updates, how they make the builds consistent (if one arch fails)... >From package POV: * the KDE stack would suffer a lot of slow builds due to dependencies, even now it can take half day to have all bootstrapped * currently we omit all ARM patches available in upstreams as we don't need them and we don't have a chance to test even the patch is needed :( * for fixing bugs, we could always try to reach any ARM guy to help with Maybe a distribution of PandaBoards/R-Pi for every FAS account holder could help, any sponsor? :D /me is going to order R-pi soon :) R. > R. > > > > > > > Dan > > > > > > -- > > devel mailing list > > devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel > -- > devel mailing list > devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
