I think you're missing the point. Buildfarm members already typically have or can get very cheaply a copy of each branch they build (HEAD and/or REL*_*_STABLE). As long as the patch feed is kept to just patches which they can apply there should be no great bandwidth issues. > >> The patches would need to be vetted first, or no sane buildfarm owner >> will >> want to use them. > > It would be nice if there could be a class of trusted users whose patches > would not have to be vetted. > > Beyond committers? cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
