Hi, I am new to this group and distcc (I have used it now and then to compile wine). My speciality is not distribution of build but the build system itself. What we all want is to compile faster. Here are some thoughts:
- The build system itself could be distributed - Linking should be distributed (forcing it to be local is a must as it can, when using nfs, take as long time as the compilation) - The figures we flash are for one person compiles on 10-20 boxes, what happends when you don't have 20 boxes for one person but 20 boxes for 20 persons. Is CCache the solution, is it a synchronisation of the build systems so just one build is done instead of 20? - With as many as 200 developers, the network is going to be the bottle neck (IMHO) is a distribution through RSynch/InterMezzo/... a better approach? As a former teacher, I must say that there is no technical challenge in contributing to distcc (because it's already real good at what it does). Are you sure your teachers will accept that work?
