[tycho-user] Incremental/parallel aggregator build

["Keppler Michael (ETAS/ESW4)" <Michael.Keppler@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi friends,

we are using a Tycho aggregator build to run verification builds on gerrit triggers. Unfortunately that aggregator has grown over time to a huge amount of modules, and many UI tests. We have done performance optimization of that build for lots of single steps like checkouts, using recent versions of tools etc. But we are at a stage where we basically need to break that aggregator down into things that can run more in parallel.

 

Is there any Tycho tutorial out there that could give me some tips of how to e.g. first build 20 product bundles in one build and then to spawn another 10 builds (on different machines, using the previously built product bundles), each with a different test bundle?

 

Any advice for decomposing a linear aggregator build into parallel steps is welcome.

 

Ciao, Michael
