Aug 30 08:52:10 <mort> is it safe to share one downloads folder between multiple concurrent bitbake instances using symlinks?
Aug 30 09:11:54 <ptsneves> have done it in the past through nfs shares. But not very confident on tech assurances
Aug 30 09:21:19 <mort> I would be less confident over nfs than over normal local filesystems
Aug 30 09:22:00 <mort> everything I've heard about nfs sounds pretty terrifying tbh, I wouldn't trust it with anything
Aug 30 09:22:55 <mort> from what I heard, it uses UDP with no layer to make sure packets make their way, so if the client doesn't receive an ack packet from the server, it can't know if that's because the request to do something was lost or if the response was lost, and there's no mechanism for the client to tell the server that something is a retry rather than a new
Aug 30 09:22:55 <mort> command
Aug 30 09:28:12 <ptsneves> the system serving nfs worked flawlessly for hundreds of devs honestly.It also served state cache, albeit the state cache was consumed by many but populaed by few. But i am not privy to details of the infrastruture implementation
Aug 30 09:28:55 <ptsneves> have you considered artifactory or some similar thing to serve the DL_DIR as an http mirror?
Aug 30 10:08:31 <mort> eh I don't think that's necessary tbh
Aug 30 10:08:48 <mort> maybe it will become, but I'll try the symlink approach until it bites me
