there's still a big backlog as the alpha buildd was more or less down
for 2 weeks recently.  Things don't seem to be getting better very  
fast

unfortunately (still more than 300 packages in Needs-Build).


I'm really sorry about that.  We had a lot of crashes related to one  
of the disk drives in goetz.d.o.  That disk has now been replaced, and  
things have got better, although the machine has crashed once since.   
If that happens again, I will have to do some more diagnostics on it.


It would be useful if the machine could run multiple buildd's in  
parallel; it is, after all, a 4 CPU machine, and currently only runs  
one build at a time, which seems to be a waste.  I will raise this  
with the DSA team, and see if things can be changed to help work  
through the backlog

I'm sorry to hear that.  No need to apologize to me, the explanation was
sufficient, and everything is fine for me now.

DSA is of course more of a priority than something like hypre.  Another
thing is that a lot of packages can probably be made to build in
parallel...

hypre stalled on alpha buildd

2008-07-09 Thread Adam C Powell IV
Hello,

Any ideas why the alpha buildd still shows needs build for hypre after
two weeks?  In that time, alpha buildds have twice attempted opencascade
which is vastly larger and non-free...

Cheers,
-Adam

the non-free buildd network is separate.

I see.  Thanks for the clarifications!
