Maybe we plan not to do that anymore...?
I've been asked to run many different distros in order to find distro specific incompatibilities and bugs. So ideally we wouldn't have two builders running the same distro and version in the same location. Sometimes when refreshing all of the builders at once we will install the same software on all of them to speed up the process. They were all openSUSE for awhile 2 years ago and they are all Fedora at the moment. In these cases, should they arise again, I would append a letter to distinguish the hostname. fedora20.osl.yoctoproject.org fedora20-a.osl.yoctoproject.org fedora20-b.osl.yoctoproject.org fedora20-c.osl.yoctoproject.org > > Cheers, > Paul >
