Hello!
On Jun 10, 2020, a new Copr release landed production.
Thank You!
Here is the list of visible changes, and new features:
- Increased build task throughput. The VM spawner is more flexible now.
First, we don't allocate that many workers if they are not actually
needed, but more importantly the upper limit for concurrently running
workers has risen to 140 (including all architectures), previously we
had ~70. We'll see how things go from the backend perspective, but it is
expected that we'll go even higher (waiting for a new HW in the new
Fedora lab, cheaper VM instances in the future, etc.). So the numbers will
likely change; this is to make clear the current state of things.
Happy to see this in action.
- Copr project "runtime" dependencies were implemented.
Newly you can
specify set of repositories your project depends on. Such repositories
will be installed together with the copr project repo file (e.g., by
'dnf copr enable YOU/YOUR_PROEJCT'). Those repositories can be other
project in Copr or some 3rd party repository. This is very similar to
build-time dependencies implemented long time ago. Take a look at
blog post:
https://fedora-copr.github.io/posts/runtime-dependencies
This sounds really interesting and helpful. Thanks.
- There's now more fair build scheduler. Previously, no matter
whether the
"background" attribute was set or not for the build - once builder was
allocated for a concrete copr user - copr never terminated the builder
as long as the user kept filling the build queue with new tasks (and it
blocked the quota for others). Newly, there's a limit of at most
eight consecutive builds or 30 minutes for one user (sandbox) on one
builder and the builder is immediately terminated - which gives a chance
to assign new builders to others' tasks (which have a higher priority at
that point).
I've been personalyl affected by the old behavior, happy to see this.
- Copr-cli supports batch build delete feature:
$ copr-cli delete build_id [build_id ...]
Please use this instead of requesting removal of each build_id
separately - it will be much faster because you will save the copr
backend useless createrepo_c runs after each request.
Yet again, \o/
- Cancel build feature was fixed, and the "cancel" request
should reliably
release all occupied builder machines (allowing them to be re-used, or
terminated).
Awesome as well.
Thanks for this release. I've also seen some UX changes wehn viewing builds, the
builder-live.log.gz is now 1 click closer. This seems slow, but in bulk, is
really awesome.
Keep up the good work. I am so glad we have such innovations!
