Hi Alex, et al: We've got a few other things in the wings to work on that problem as well. Both Azure and Rackspace have donated cloud credits to be used for build slaves. The work to have dynamic build slaves available from Rackspace is almost done, which means as the number of jobs in the queue goes up, we'll spin up additional slaves on-demand (within certain limits, Rackspace was gracious but didn't give us carte blanche).
The work going on for Azure-based slaves is still very much a work in progress; and I have no idea what timeline you can expect there. --David On Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 6:56 PM, Ted Yu <yuzhih...@gmail.com> wrote: > Adding builds@ > > > On Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 3:55 PM, Alex Newman <posi...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> The build server has been incredibly slow over the last couple of >> days.
