Our local LUG is having a small gentoo installfest and intending to use distcc[d] to speed things up. At this stage it seems we will have in the order of 10 machines being installed and up to 20 in the distccd farm.
One thing I foresee is people coming and going during the day, so the pool of distccd servers and the pool of installees will not be static. I have few questions, and welcome any suggestions. 1. should we specifically allocate distccd servers to each client (ie 2 per installing client), or can we give each client the list of 20 server machines in the hope the load will balance itself out? Having to allocate servers on an individual basis would be a nightmare as people come and go. 2. alternatively, is there any sort of distccd "master" program? I envisage giving each client the address of the master box which hands the compilation jobs out to the farm. The advantage would be that the master could maintain a single list of servers., which we could change as servers came and went. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
