Hello,

We launched "seeded" builds on Linaro Android Build System
(https://android-build.linaro.org) more than a week ago with the aim to
improve build performance and stability, following Android ICS import
which overloaded our previous build infrastructure, and looking forward
into making Android RC preparation to be comfortable instead of
stressful it became due to infra overload.

>From the very first builds it was clear that it is huge relief
for problems we have, but it took entire Android team involvement to
prove that they're working as expected. And now, almost 2 weeks later,
we even enough stats materials to assess how much improvement they
actually did. So, I wrote a blog article about that, which includes
nice build time chart which vividly shows it all:
http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/2011/12/01/improving-performance-of-linaro-android-build-service/

The seeded builds launch effort was a big success in cooperation
between Infrastructure and Android team, led by Platform Director, and
I would like to thank everyone for you discussion, involvement, peer
review!

One last thing I would like to add though is that we essentially just
*started* deployment of the seeded builds, they will require more time
to uncover their full potential and made be well maintainable, so work
on that continues thru 11.12


Thanks,
Paul
