Re: [Mono-dev] Switch off the Jenkins ARM builds on PRs for now
Hey, We could do the ARM runs only for things that touch mono/mono. While it is not perfect, it is a close enough approximation for what we care.

[Mono-dev] Switch off the Jenkins ARM builds on PRs for now

Re: [Mono-dev] Switch off the Jenkins ARM builds on PRs for now
You can turn on concurrent building in the project settings on Jenkins. There are some caveats, see below. Execute concurrent builds if necessary: If this option is checked, Jenkins will schedule and execute multiple builds concurrently (provided that you have sufficient executors and incoming build requests.) This is useful on builds and test jobs that take a long time, as each build will only contain a smaller number of changes, and the total turn-around time decreases due to the shorter time a build request spends waiting for the previous build to complete. It is also very useful with parameterized builds, whose individual executions are independent from each other. For other kinds of jobs, allowing concurrent executions of multiple builds may be problematic, for example if it assumes a monopoly on a certain resource, like database, or for jobs where you use Jenkins as a cron replacement. If you use a custom workspace and enable this option, all your builds will run on the same workspace, thus unless a care is taken by your side, it'll likely to collide with each other. Otherwise, even when they are run on the same node, Jenkins will use different workspaces to keep them isolated. When Jenkins creates different workspaces for isolation, Jenkins appends @num to the workspace directory name, e.g. @2. The separator @ can be configured by setting the system property hudson.slaves.WorkspaceList to the desired separator string on the Jenkins command line. E.g. -Dhudson.slaves.WorkspaceList=- will use a dash as separator.
