Hi, Thanks for the info about scons, but i think we couldn't use the advantages you described. - sharing the cache is not needed since the slaves are run on different locations so we dont have a good network connection (adsl..) between the slaves. - Rebuilds are necessary every day so there are almost no unnecessary rebuilds - We are not doing parallel builds (1 build takes ~2hrs and uses all resources a node can provide)
Hmm maybe our builds are failing too often for jenkins to rebuild on the same slave reliable... Are there some other tips? Can we influence the way jenkins tries to rebuild in any way? - Chris 2014-04-09 8:50 GMT+02:00 Dirk Heinrichs <d...@recommind.com>: > Am 09.04.2014 08:22, schrieb Christoph Vollmer: > > Everything is working fine right now but since our project gets bigger > and bigger we try to optimise our build times.
