I think I'll see if maybe I can just whip up something about this...
Not sure if you're aware, but the latest version of buildbot
includes support for managing ec2-based slaves. That's an easy way
to get all the slaves you can afford.
No, I did not know that, thanks!
Thing is, with ec2's high prices, the number of servers I could afford
to put up would be pretty limited. I was thinking more along the
lines of options at Rackspace and others (@ Rackspace, for example,
1.5 cents/hr for 256MB 10 GB server).
Maybe the best thing to do is just extend buildbot to handle other
server types where the prices aren't quite so steep.
Thanks for the heads up!
