  • Any concrete ideas on how to improve aggregation timing or workflow? If so, please comment in bug 332942 ... or, should I close it as "won't fix"?

Indigo Plan and Schedule

Other business

  • Discussion on build machine QoS (JohnA):
    • Is build machine contention/availability currently an issue for projects?
    • Do we need to adjust schedules to account for this?
    • Consider other measures such as reducing continuous or regular builds during milestone periods?
There was agreement this might become a problem (has been in the past), but not sure if it currently is, and not sure what to do about it if/when it becomes a problem. Its hard to pick favorite projects or take away resources from some committers ... though is is a shared, constrained resource, so might come to that. And by "take away" it it meant to reduce, have various rules about niceness level that are enforced, etc.
TODO: I (dw) agreed to ask webmasters if there was some way to see who was using what how much, as improved understanding might lead to better solutions.
Long term, if it is only a matter of "peak usage", may want to investigate (or, encourage others to investigate:) some sort of "cloud" solution so during final milestone/release weeks we could have 10 slaves, or something, whereas most of the time we just need one or two.
Response: (from email discussion with master webmaster, Denis)
No resources to do "cloud computing" (unless, someone donates it).
In current system, greatest bottlenecks will be hard disk access: "Everyone pulling CVS/SVN/Git files, writing to /shared, uploading to downloads, and so on takes a toll on disk performance. The separation of anonymous/external pserver to another dataset will likely help tons."
There is no way to monitor/track CPU Utilization "by project".
Specific advice to minimize risk (riskiest usage):
Building only when needed,
not running too many builds concurrently,
avoid scanning the file system for nothing (by using find, or chmod * -R for instance),
building during off-peak hours (Fridays, weekend),
minimizing disk operations (copies, moves, deletes, zip, caching 3rd party dependencies, etc),
respecting the Server Storage chart,
avoiding hogging all the RAM...

ToDo Items

  • It is time? ==> Note from Wayne, to Wayne: (from previous meeting) Remember to review plans starting after M4 (at latest) so questions can be clarified before "road map" produced.
  • Was there a note for this item? Wayne teased us all with promise of new tools to check CQs against downloads, which we projects can use ourselves ... but he wasn't ready to tell us about them today and he'll be saying more over next few days or weeks.
  • TODO (from previous meeting): dw to add/create add a FAQ item around "what to handle 3.7 vs. 4.1". Will draw from previous working notes.
  • New TODO?: Need common pages for a) plans b) migration c) N&N?
A contributor (Hendy.rainbowpurple.com) added these for Eclipse project to Indigo Wiki Page ... but, shouldn't we have central page, with potential for each project to add links to their plans, migration guides, and N&N? Is there a better way?

Next Meeting

February 2, 12 noon Eastern
