Jeez, I sense some hostility on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andreas, It's a nice effort, but unfortunately, it won't support the goals of f2k7. The most important lacking thing for the hackathon is fast, memory-packed machines, and lots of disks. AKA, modern expensive, top of the line stuff. It seems to me that developers just don't have that stuff lying around (hence their asking for it.) If these machines were avaliable, distcc would see a lot of diminishing returns. However, without the hardware for f2k7, nothing is getting off the ground.
It seems to me like you want to help. Distcc sadly is a band-aid for this gaping wound. So, perhaps if you have a few large disks lying around you could donate/loan them? -- Travers Buda
