I compile all of e, efl, terminology, rage on a raspberry pi with 768m ram (256 partitioned off to gpu) and do parallel builds... and can run a gui at the same time. e5 has 48gb of ram. last i heard from stefan the vm's for building had maybe 2 or 4gb ram allocated to them and limited disk space. correct me if i'm wrong - this may have been a while ago. compared to a raspberry pi .. e5 runs rings around it so many times it's not funny and an rpi can do this easily enough. yes - jenkins adds infra cost itself, but a single vm for linux builds (with multiple chroots) would consume very little resources as it would only need a single build controller and just spawn off scripts per build that do the chroot fun. sure - need a vm for bsd, and windows and other OS's that can't do the chroot trick. > the hosting instances.
