I have no idea... I know on the download side my 3MB DSL seems to be
"enough". I do a lot of test building in mock and it does a good job
of caching packages. On the upload side though It's pretty bad.
384Kbit, and I can only allow about 200Kbit or DNS resolving gets VERY
slow.
Well, there really isn't *that* much to upload, so even if its slow, meh. At least,
that's my take right now. I don't really have any idea how much there is to
upload though, or how long it takes. I haven't had any network issues that
resulted from it, but my uplink speed is several orders of magnitude higher
than 384Kbps.
If we can get distributed building working though, I might be
willing
to upgrade my service a bit.
I'm proposing we start working on a package, called something like
"rpmfusion-builder" to make setting things up as easy as possible.
Can someone (Jarod?) reply with a summery of what's involved in setting one up?
Can't entirely recall. There's not a huge amount to it though. Its a fairly
minimal el6 install, add plague, koji and mock, and configure them (along
with the necessary firewall holes for the plague and koji client daemons).
