will the two pathces for the randomization of distcc's host list and the setting of a connection timeout be merged into the main trunk of distcc? If so, when will that happen?
I'm all for the randomization patch being merged :-) but which timeout patch are you referring to? I see two: http://lists.samba.org/archive/distcc/2002q4/000376.html, which uses 'alarm', and http://lists.samba.org/archive/distcc/2003q2/001097.html, which uses 'select'.
The reason for my "merge request" is that I want to use distcc in Gentoo without having to patch the sources. Since I use my university's computer lab to do some compiling and not all computer's are always available, both the randomization and the possibility to set a short timeout value would greatly enhance distcc's usability.
Sound reasonable to me. How many hosts are in your cluster? And are they all roughly the same performance?
