It would somewhat defeat the purpose of the distributed builds to bring back significant work to the main server. The files that would be missing in a "light build" would still be target-specific so they would not just be an identical set of files to append to all packages unconditionally. I can easily imagine us continually increasing the amount of builds and we need the distributed "effect". > Or let the central server do the packaging only. The packaging needs lots of files that are created during the build so thus only a machine that builds for a target can package for that target. There's also this angle: the current script works like this and it seems like a lot more work to add work-arounds for build servers with severly capped upload rates than to just say that we prefer servers without such limitations. I would expect that many people out there have more than 200Kbit/s upload capabilities on their servers... And yes, I'm old and grumpy! ;-) -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://www.rockbox.org/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/Received on 2006-05-03 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
