Pointyhat news

Kris has rewritten and optimized various aspects of pointyhat package cluster, making a heavy use of ZFS features like cloning. On amd64, we can now complete a full package build (without openoffice ports) in mere 20 hours. Impressive!

    I guess OpenOffice takes another 20 hours? :)

    OpenOffice takes some six, seven hours to complete. Does not matter much if it’s alone on the build client or if it shares the machine with other jobs.

  3. And what are the old results? How much time did it take before?

  4. pav says:

    Two or three days.
