I wouldn't mind doing so, but I don't think the machine side is that hard
from the sound of it. More problematic is how to provide enough bandwidth,
and total usage. Do we have a feel for the BW / monthly data usage side of
the equation ?
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.
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?
Thanks,
Richard
