I discussed that today with a build service expert. - The intention of constraints are hard requirement: Without them the build would fail. - They can backfire: Waiting for a powerful machine could take longer than the build on a less powerful but available machine would have taken. Not so likely on Intel but could happen on ARM. - Unfortunately it is not possible to specify a minimal memory size based on the number of cores. - That some people want cetain packages to build fast may collide with expectations of other people and may decrease the overall build time for the project or other projects. ciao Arvin -- Arvin Schnell, <[email protected]> Senior Software Engineer, Research & Development SUSE Linux GmbH Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany GF: Felix Imendörffer, Mary Higgins, Sri Rasiah HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
