Preparing to test distcc
In order to test the effect of using distcc for package building, these packages are being set up for a non-mock build:
Package | Researcher | Computer |
---|---|---|
crystalspace | George Popescu | Australia |
cernlib | Gajendran Ratnam | China |
ghdl | Devashish Mukherji | India |
gcc | Rahi Parsi | Ireland |
Meanwhile, Chris is working to determine why diveintopython and gimp-help (which are books/manuals) are in the top-4 slowest packages :-)
Comparison Results from Matt Domsch
Matt Domsch from the Fedora Project has provided built time information for a rebuild of Fedora 11 on his systems at Dell:
