I need to read more before I really understand, but what was the problem with something like distcc, ccache and CMake? The two downsides I see to the distcc/CMake approach is slow dependency resolution (looking at lots of files instead of just packages), and duplicate coping of files by distcc to remote machines.
- forgotusername 15y agoThis is quite a high level overview, so possibly underneath they're using distcc. This at least used to be true for ad-hoc builds on their corporate network in previous years.
- slug 15y agoDon't know if it still holds true, but they used distcc a few years ago: http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2008/08/distccs-pump-mode-new-design-for.html http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2008/08/distccs-pump-m... I also recommend ccache, but it might run into problems with the pump mode, although it works fine with regular distcc.
