- avoid logging incomplete builds.
- put stuff in more sane directories
- avoid exiting early
- create unique machine objects and use them
- allow for a script at init/auto ncpu determination
- global build size in /tmp for a given host.
- better terminal handling.
move the logs/locks yet again: those are dpb logs, so they belong in
logs dir (note the s). Use one single option (-L) to move both.
remove old -t mode, use -t/-T for ssh/display timeouts
Change the "mem" option to "parse size file", dependent on show-size.
will replace old dpb once we're satisfied it works.
some features:
- no more waiting, starts building right away, the dependencies discovery
process is just another job,
- monitor display that makes it easy to know when jobs get stuck, or machines
get down.
- loads of logs,
- locks that stay around in case of error, and that you can remove when
the error has been fixed (dpb picks it up),
- smart choice of which package to build,
- can take into account previous build times,
- builds on machines of differing speed, offloading "lighter" jobs to slower
boxes.
(again, ports is still locked for most people)
