Mid end desktops these days are 8 way machines that should be able to easily do a full test run in < 60 minutes. If we setup parallel testing in the DC (which would be part of a parallel test implementation) we'd expect similar throughput from the DC hosted tests - pqm and buildbot. Its entirely possible we could [trivially] reenable pqm test-on-land as part of this. (Which doesn't simplify the merge machinery, but would address the 'bad commit breaks test suite massively' bug). -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
