I don't know if it will help, but if you want to take a quick look at a libguestfs build, eg: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=487740 That took 11 *hours*. The package itself took 20 minutes to build. The tests took the rest of the time. FYI here is the test log: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/libguestfs/1.24.4/1.fc20/data/logs/x86_64/build.log Of course having the package take 11 hours to build [that's unusual, it's usually a bit quicker than that, but it's always hours] is not good for anyone, us, Koji, rebuilders, remixers ... But it's useful because the test suite is very thorough and catches many bugs in the kernel, qemu and filesystem tools. If we can move the tests off to another system, *especially* if that other system is baremetal (because the tests run much faster on baremetal than on top of virt), then that will help everyone, while not compromising the vital coverage that the test suite gives Fedora.
