Hi,
I noticed very long build queue yesterday on platform JIPP with executors on master fully used and nodes hippcentos and centslave2 are free. This queue can be avoided if you can run the gerrit jobs on other nodes.
Before going on to the solution here are some issues you may encounter
Master is on Suse 12 with GTK 3.10 (configured as use as much as possible)
Hippcentos and centslave2 on CentOS with GTK 3.24 (configured as use when the label _expression_ in the build job matches)
One of the most important changes that you’ll notice is the test results. Since the GTK versions are different you may notice some variations in test results.
To rectify this situation we can either change the configuration of centos nodes’ usage to “use as much as possible”. Or set “Restrict where this project can be run” to “master||centos”
To have better control second option is better. Please update your gerrit jobs if you want to take advantage of executors on all three nodes.
Please Note this is not applicable for PDE/JDT/equinox Jipps as they have only one node.
Thanks and Regards,
Sravan
