Release Engineering has been using subversion for the 2008.0 snapshot |
| 14 |
tree. The repository is running in tmpfs on a dual Opteron box. IT's |
| 15 |
still quite painfully slow. Of course, we're doing commits at the |
| 16 |
top-level since we have a single top-level ChangeLog for the repository, |
| 17 |
but we don't even have history. We literally just pulled ebuilds from |
| 18 |
the tree. |

Once the release is done, we can play around with the repository all |
| 21 |
that we want to get some real numbers, but unless there's some magic |
| 22 |
bullet that I'm missing, subversion might simply be too damned slow for |
| 23 |
our needs. As an anecdotal example, I've had a single commit of several |
| 24 |
profiles take up to 6 minutes to complete, and that's not with repoman |
| 25 |
or anything. |
