Ewoud, Eyal (& others?) - what does Joachim need to do? Is this a good place to start? --
This is an excellent offer and opportunity. Since we're talking about VMs, we can start with basic hardware spec and increase it after we'll see the bottle necks in real time.
I would start with 3 VMs each running 16GB RAM, 200GB DISK, 32 GB SWAP, each with 4/8 cores each.
Itamar, mburns -> any recommendation on how many VMs per hardware node should we use?
considering the workload, i'd start with not overcomitting resources, and later analyzing behavior Agree with Itamar. I'd also consider having a vm or 2 that are running various target distros where we can build packages for different distros. +1
Robert - are you interested in working on the package autobuild for RHEL & rebuilds? Yes. I see getting easy access to the auto-builds in repo's as a top
I figure we have the Fedora expertise already. Anyone know enough to get the Debian/Ubuntu packages building? (Maybe even automate populating an Ubuntu PPA?) Same questions for OpenSUSE. Before we worry about getting them in a PPA we need to worry about building the packages. This requires more then Just building oVirt

I also would like to get auto-builds setup for the 3.1 engine so any cheery picked updates will get built and made available for people without require infra admin time. Create the same thing for VDSM if / when a branch gets created. We have 2 issues that need resolved to get auto builds into repo's 1) We need additional storage on linode01 or we need to move the repo's to there own system. 2) We need someone with access to both system to get the scripts to move the data around. I am sure I could get it done but I would need my access raised on linode01 and access to the Jenkins Master but this should be pretty easy once the storage issues is resolved. EL6 builds the steps that we need. 1) We need to incorporate the EL6 patches so we can build the package. Do we do it using a EL6 specific .spec files or do we use if statements inside the exist spec? 2) We need to get builds running on some EL6 based hosts. I have a few small hosts I could kick in but both nodes are just 8 cores / 8G of ram each. 3) Move the nightly over to the repo for EL6 builds. packages we need to build jboss 7.11 packages and depending on the Debian version we might requires an newer version of PostgreSQL. There is a lot of packaging that needs to be done to get oVirt running on Debian based systems.
We have a classic chicken-and-egg problem with being of interest to the OpenSUSE. Debian, Ubuntu, etc. communities - we need builds to generate the interest of people who would want to maintain the packages in their downstream distro repo.
Right now the packing needs is so great it is hard to get anyone interested into build oVirt into there distro but once you have some working Debian based packages then other Debian maintainers will pick them up and incorporate them into there respective Distro's
Also, 200GB disk seems a bit excessive to me. Since this is running on oVirt, maybe a thin provisioned disk would be a good choice. The slaves generally don't need as much disk. Let's keep iterating on the content on http://ovirt.org/wiki/Jenkins, not just the service minimums, but cleaning the setup steps, etc.
