I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to either a) move back the nightly tarball generation to, say, 9pm US Indiana time or b) perhaps make the tarballs at multiple times during the day.

Since we're doing more and more testing, it seems like we need more time to do it before the 9am reports. Right now, we're pretty limited to starting at about 2am (to guarantee that the tarballs have finished building). If you start before then, you could be testing a tarball that's about a day old.

This was happening to sun, for example, who (I just found out) starts their testing at 7pm because they have limited time and access to resources (starting at 7pm lets them finish all their testing by 9am).

So what do people think about my proposals from above? Either 9pm, or perhaps make them every 6 hours throughout the day.
