Fedora community build infrastructure shortage negatively impact packagers for Fedora/CentOS/RHEL
This is an auto-generated summary of the FRCL call on 2026-05-06:
The meeting explored infrastructure capacity shortages and established the need for contributor experience performance metrics.
Infrastructure Shortages and Metrics
Participants identified recurring build infrastructure shortages and emphasized the urgent need for data-driven metrics to track contributor experience. The discussion highlighted how lack of performance visibility prevents effective resource prioritization.
Addressing Cross-Architecture Performance
Discussions covered long wait times across various architectures and the necessity of synchronizing builder decisions between Fedora, CentOS, and REL. The group acknowledged that insufficient capacity harms contributor motivation.
Metrics Strategy and Planning
The team decided to implement key performance indicators for build latency and resource allocation. This effort will inform future hardware investments, specifically for Risk 5 architecture requirements.
