I just wish the makefile had a hashtag generator so each build was readily identifiable AND didn't overwrite the last build. I'm only using 3% of a 240gig ssd to do this so far.
Part of my contribution to the cause. The odroid that was part of the buildbot up to around 17 months ago, apparently had less than stellar dependability so Seb shut that headache down, leaveing me alone to build my own, which on a pi3b was a huge time killer even if the pi3's uptime was power fail to power fail. The pi4b's uptime has been similar and I've now fitted it with a 650 WA ups. Now, with those same ssd drives plugged into a usb-3 port, both lcnc-master and the preempt-rt kernels are under an hours build time on that rpi4. So since I'm next needing to fire up my mig and make mounting brackets to mount the hoist that will lift the BS-1 up to the table on my G0704 since my back can't, at 85 yo & crushed disks, handle 80+ kg anymore. But the hoist is Chinese, and its mounting brackets only fit Chinese steel, so I've got to cut and weld brackets to fit American 2" steel. Warmer weather and no wind are needed before I find out how rusty I am with a mig welder. No wind so it doesn't blow my flood gas away, ruining any chance of the 25% CO2 in it might harden my welds by adding a bit of carbon to them. Thats why the flood gas is 25% CO2. Any carbon in the wire (there is some in it) would be burned out by the fire anyway without that CO2. I've now made 2, maybe 3 offers to buy Seb an rpi4 with enough stuff to make it part of the buildbot farm. TANSTAAFL principle IMO. Crickets. Excuses, excuses...
