The trouble with this approach (as you may be aware :-)) is that if the board farm includes a few 'rare' board types that happen to be covered by a broad system property criteria used by most people, it can be tricky to schedule jobs which really require the 'rare' board type, because the rare resource can get monopolised by a big job which could have run on anything but happened to get scheduled to the rare board because it was temporarily free. This is particularly acute if the rare board is also a rather slow one. -- PMM _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
