Hi,

As you might know, the SimRel JIPP has been migrated to our new
cluster-based infrastructure (see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=568118).

This has some implications on the SimRel aggregation build:
On the old infra, the SimRel JIPP could utilize up to 16 CPUs of the
host machine (hipp8) and had file system access (via NFS mounts) to
download.eclipse.org. On the new infra, resource restrictions are in
place and there is no direct access to download.eclipse.org (only via
SCP/SSH).

Therefore we are using a dedicated "promotion" build agent with 4vCPUs
that provides filesystem access. Due to the CPU resource limits of the
build agent, an aggregation build (simrel.runaggregator.pipeline) now
takes approximately 2 hours on the new infra (vs ~1h hour on the old
infra). One hour of this build was spent on "repo reports" alone. AFAIK
nobody reads the repo reports on a regular basis...if ever. Hence I've
split out the repo report generation from the aggregation build.
I'd suggest to run the separate repo reports job
(https://ci-staging.eclipse.org/simrel/job/simrel.reporeports.pipeline/)
at least every day/night, but not after every aggregation build anymore.

Please also note, more changes (e.g. native Tycho build) will come soon,
but the focus is on the migration for now.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Regards,

Fred
