casulana is also used to build the CD images. Currently, the scripts
that build the CD images execute a number of 'build jobs' in parallel,
effectively monopoloizing the machine. One of the things we could/should
do is turn those 'build jobs' things that can be executed by a scheduler
such as sge or gitlab-runner. Can we inject non-gitlab-originating jobs
into gitlab's scheduler?
The other thing we could do is set up system-wide semaphor that both
cd-build and gitlab-runner use, but i prefer the idea of enqueuing jobs
into SGE (or equivalent) and using appropriate parameters to identify
number of CPU/RAM/etc is available on the runner vs what a job needs.
That way, we make best use of casulana.
Thoughts?
