[Arm-netbook] Fwd: Auto-discard notification

[lkcl luke]

kent, hi, thank you for this - i'm forwarding it on to the list, which
has to be subscribed to in order to post (and you have to send the
message from the account that is subscribed).

would this help, mr cnxsoft, and do you think things would go over
200gb / month (just doing builds, not actual hosting, so copying off
to a separate location each time the build's completed)

l.

We have a small XCP cluster about to be deployed consisting of 4x
E5645 procs and 96GB RAM across two physical machines. I'm sure that
we could spare enough capacity for a build machine to do daily builds.

We've had great success with Redmine (or perhaps now, the
ChilliProject fork - not that I've tried it yet) for managing multiple
projects within a single environment for bug tracking, viewing SVN
source repositories (haven't tried it with Git), and wiki.

Our biggest issue with hosting the VM is that any more than 200GB or
so transferred in a month might start to be an issue.
