I think they should be OK. The daemons run on the loopback interface, so there is hopefully not a security implication. If multiple buildfarms are sharing the same loopback space (e.g., running in separate directories on the same machine), the "auto" setting should degrade gracefully. One daemon will "win" the setup, and the tests will run, and on the other, they will be skipped. > I am in favor of this change but just pointing out possible fallouts > might be larger than we think. Agreed, but I think the only way to know the size of those fallouts is to try it and see who complains. I would not normally be so cavalier with git itself, but I think for the test infrastructure, we have a small, tech-savvy audience that can help us iterate on it without too much pain. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
