Many of the Koji builders are actually virtualized themselves now, so if the build process is planning to spin up a new VM, it needs to either be forced to run on a hardware builder (because I really can't believe that the install under full emulation will be a reasonable use of resources) or grow a new ability to spin up a remote cloud instance. This discussion should probably be taken over to the Fedora Infrastructure list. I'll start a new thread (because probably many people here aren't subscribed to that list). -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
