Hi. (I wasn't able to find another mailing list for this. I found a bit of discussion on debian-devel about one specific overload incident.)
Since sid opened, people have naturally been hard at work. Great! But I notice that Salsa CI is now frequently very overloaded. Even when it's not half a day behind (!), I often see that my package is able to run only about one job at a time. I think this is slowing a lot of us down quite considerably. It seems to me that we (Debian) could probably acquire more computing resources if we wanted. Perhaps some of our jobs are wasteful, but I think that overall, adding capacity would be well justified. I haven't seen any discussion of this anywhere. Is work ongoing to try to add more capacity to Salsa CI? What are the key difficulties? If we knew what kind of expertise/assistance/input/sponsorship was needed, I feel we could probably find it within our project. Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Jackson <[email protected]> These opinions are my own. Pronouns: they/he.
