Add remote runners

Open teverett opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

@kaby76 @mike-lischke we had a brief discussion in PR#3843 about build times. I have some infra I could use to support remote runners, for linux. I don't have spare Windows licenses or Mac hardware.

If I can set up the runner(s) could the build be changed to support them? Would it help with build times?

Yes, it could help. I'll look into something.

While it would certainly help to throw more iron at the tests, it's not clear if that is really worth the effort IMO. My big patch is probably the largest this repo will ever see. Mostly the patches are small and the tests therefore quick, right Kent?

Most tests are single-grammar changes. This change is kind of a fluke (but thank you so much for doing this). The Mac boxes are slowly working through the tests, slow because Github doesn't have as many of those boxes.
