uh? you mean mageia will run with 1 bs node of each type, and that's it?

i don't know. stéphane télétchea wrote on cooker@ about a scheduler he's
using in his job with lots of fancy features. i guess he'll be able to
describe them in more details, and why we would want them.


note to packagers: it's now very easy to throttle in an adaptive way
(thanks to pascal terjean). just add the following before submitting a
package:

    sleep $( HEAD http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/ | perl -nE '/X-BS-Throttle: (\d+)/ && print $1' )
