Adventures with our x86 tinderbox.

For a few months now I’ve profile testing on pretty decent x86 host at OSU. As a side result of building and leaving FEATURES=buildpkg enabled I started ending up with pretty decent sized binary repositories which was pretty cool. I moved on to expanding it to make other arch test/tinderboxes start pushing the $PKGDIR from their local repos as well. Also as a result of testing I crontab a crossdev job to build nearly every known cross-compiler on the face of the planet that we could possibly support. As soon as KingTaco and I can do some disk shuffling at OSU I’ll have an amd64 to beat on in the same way as the x86 tinderbox. Currently I’m limited to profile testing on mipsel/arm/ppc/x86/hppa. x86 has the best coverage of them.

Side note I wanted to get portage-2.0.54-r2 out the door yesterday but that got delayed. Today is a bad day for me and development so I don’t think I’ll be pushing one today either.
