I've already patched dmucs to return the addition of ,cpp - but haven't read
up yet on what ,lzo does. The load balencing feature is really what I was
interested in such that multiple users can use the pool of machines to run a
threaded make and minimize the overlapping of concurrent compiles on the same
machines. Does lsdistcc "check out & in" machines, so that another user
doesn't get it assigned from the pool?
I'm not an authority on lsdistcc, but having looked briefly at it's source
I'm pretty sure it doesn't support the "check in/check out" functionality
you mention. It simply queries DNS and extracts potential compile hosts
that adhere to a specified naming format and whether they are
listening on the right port. Load balancing in distcc is
achieved by randomisation over the host list.
Is there interest to consolidate this functionality from dmucs into distcc?
Yes, at least for us here at CERN! I'm currently working as a technical
intern looking, amongst other things, at load balancing and node
protection in distcc.
