There's a lot of challenges to solve with changing how we build packages currently to speed them up. The easiest solution is more hardware. We are working to get more hardware to be able to build more often per week. We don't have anything official to announce yet. We currently build 1 time per week. We have some hardware freed up from not needing the pkg_install builds anymore, and not needing a new_xorg/ssp repository. We should be able to get to 2-3 times per week soon and 4-5 in February once we get additional hardware. We're also trying to balance new hardware with getting ARM/MIPS packages built. IMHO though we need near-daily builds for x86 ASAP. The recent security issues have been difficult. --=20 Regards, Bryan Drewery --P5WNTQavHlEVPsJkg5prOG2xisQfIfIXj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJURW1AAAoJEDXXcbtuRpfPb0cH/RPDj9lLb8eXvSIyv+1stucU ys7YLLvwZUV52LFaUgIhCjFEufG4uNzhYJ8PygtefecNUPghgLu+GxP+804KA1LI rR2pwBzH3181u0T5+BWpt4dgoOhVfxfMv14qF2ZKudYlnEGmuICkS9ujxpO/UgJ7 +rextjp9AoBiJ73gku9jBnOaUR3tD/AGeKZXRFn0vo9+yjlIxG81ImxPC3NU4wX8 dkY3q9U0gFL5jaqpb8MAG1nApbXEj2pOkf0j3qLarye+hGe+QLlFQlKRClwUKoPv rgWZufPDvttQZBNc74TOijBGKu6njoxTeVxvpQ17wRlHLSVHaqlDEmACqgYV9DQ= =26hh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --P5WNTQavHlEVPsJkg5prOG2xisQfIfIXj--
