by much experience with this particular setup, but time spent in other
environments
has shown me that running these sorts of test builds on all platforms can
sometimes be quite useful.
I'd suggest a variation on this idea: all-platform try builds should
automatically be
scheduled to only one platform initially, that with the fastest turnaround and
lowest
load. If there are issues on that platform, no further platforms are scheduled.
If that platform is all green, the remaining platforms are scheduled in
parallel as
happens now.
This seems to me to offer the best of all possible worlds: we fail early in the
case where there are problems, but we also do our best to flush out issues
that may not have been caught on the initially chosen platform.
This is a great idea, and we have in fact discussed this in the past. I
think it makes sense for us to do this, and -p any is definitely a good
first step.
Cheers,
Ehsan
