I can definitely donate the facilities if not the talent. I have a symmetrical fiber connection and a static ip. I also have battery backup. I’m in the final weeks of making the building legal and I haven’t configured the final network set-up for the building. I was going to set-up a vlan on my

Hi all, I've got an iMac Pro in my LAN with 16 vCores and 64GB or RAM which is quite often idle. I'm not privy with how our build system work, but if we could get to a point where agents can be added, stopped, throttled, trusted members of our community could volunteer the computational power

Three distributed machines is a great goal, I agree with you, but maybe the right mindset here is to do the best with what we've got. If we have three or more trusted volunteers and the CI can support it let's do it, if we have fewer, we'll live with it. On Wed, May 19, 2021, 8:57 AM Bjarne D

MacPorts is short-staffed in all areas, not just infrastructure. Our Buildbot system works. It produces all the binaries we are able to. Our buildbot system was already substantially redesigned when we took it over from Apple in 2016 and will be substantially redesigned again as we upgrade to

Over the past month or so there has been a few threads on the direction of the project, what can be improved and what the vision should be. I wanted to summarize my two cents because I haven't been otherwise participating and hopefully this can adjust the community mindset towards what the
