The last time this topic came up IMO there was quite some
interest in getting this running but the showstopper was that
cperciva@ said that a requirement for any platform supported
by freebsd-update(8) would be that the build server is able
to run buildworld in 1 hour at most (unfortunately I currently
just can't find that email). My 4x1.5GHz V440 I originally
intended for this purpose unfortunately still takes 72 minutes
last time I checked. I suspect a 8x1.2GHz V880 would be able
to meet this requirement but I simply can't afford the housing
for such a beast.
Ken, did the V880s at your university become available as
intended some time ago?
