Well, you could benefit from parallelizing builds if you had some spare CPU and RAM. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The hardware available now is only 3 aged servers, with two dual core processors each, i.e. just 12 cores. These decrepit wrecks are handling all build queues (6 repositories, with two architectures each) and some other greedy tasks. This situation is not going to change in foreseen future, so I'd rather be on the safe side and leave things as is. --=20 ldv --CdrF4e02JqNVZeln Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAksjpNIACgkQfKvmrJ41Nh5vSgCgj/6xyt9xV2zE7wu+qyGs+Oee vg4AoLLqMCQ3BzTf0xdYe7qFuPm7nVDq =V9d4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --CdrF4e02JqNVZeln--
