Hello

As I'm not too into writing content for the web site, I've made it so that the 2nd news article has (mostly) live data about the on-going builds for -current.

I hope you like it. I do :-)

Seriously neat!

The current machines both have install dates within the last week, do you do fresh installs on a routine basis on the build machines?

And *at the time of this post*
Activities......:-
Building package xap/mozilla-firefox [ 1 of 1 ]

Would that be for mozilla-nss or say, testing the rust revert?

Intriguing to see a bit of the behind the scenes, thank you!

Sometimes I just reinstall it because it's been a few weeks, it's performed many builds, and I like to sanitise - as there are often artifacts left over from the build process. I also reinstall to test the installer, after every few Kernel releases.
The secondary build machine is reinstalled less often because I like to have a stable -current to return to, in case the ground gives way - so to speak. That used to happen every now and then - some update would hose everything. That hasn't happened in years though, as ARM Linux matured.
The secondary machine can build Kernels too, since the only dependency is gcc - which rarely changes, so I can build the Kernel on an older version of -current.

Yes, it broke with rust-1.38 so I was testing against 1.37. Fortunately it will re-build against that version.
