Hey all,
a new versions of copr packages were deployed now to production. There are
several small bugfixes (most of them were already hot-fix patched in production
before), but there are also two major things worth mentioning:
1. The build task scheduler (priority counting) was fixed once more, now
for real, I believe. When you submit a background job, it _will_ be
processed later than your normal builds (or at the same time, if there's
capacity, there are no synchronization mechanisms, yet). Also source builds
have precedence over binary RPM builds again (see issues #1414 and #1415
for more info).
2. Newly, we don't always run createrepo_c after each build (or delete request).
Iff there are a concurrent createrepo_c requests on the same directory
(multiple builds finished at a similar time in the same project chroot) we will
likely group them into a batch and execute the createrepo_c only once for the
whole batch. This saves some resources in general, but the major speedup
will be in large projects (where createrepo_c used to block us historically).
Screenshot of the batch I sent yesterday. Thanks to 1), the number of
pending tasks steadily grows very fast, and thanks to 2) builds are
processed much faster than before. Great work!
