چکیده
During the months preceding the etch release, I worked on several large-scale QA tasks using an computing grid, including rebuilds of all packages in Etch, piuparts runs on all packages in Etch, etc. This talk will briefly describe what was done and how, and then will discuss various directions for future improvements, including changes needed to run such tasks on a regular basis, and to make the processes more efficient and scalable.
