Thanks
builds are getting killed by OOM with every new toolchain release requiring to reduce parallelism, see eg. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=113539413
So, this is not some kind of easy magic. I dislike that we have this channel and really discourage adding more to it... but we can do it if needed.
The downside is that if we add this then you will need to wait behind any builds for the other things in the heavybuilder channel. ie, chromium and webkitgtk. If those have a bunch of builds fired off (not upcommon for them to build for all active branches), then your build will just wait until heavybuilder resources are available.
That said, if you don't mind that it could make builds a lot slower, but fail less we can try it.

a build finally succeeded. If I could rely on normal builds not running out of memory every time the wind changes direction I'd be happy to keep using the regular builders.
Is there any pattern to the failures? are they always on x84_64 / s390x?
yes, AFAICR it's never happened on aarch64 or ppc64le.
How are things looking now?
The s390x builders have all been replaced with new ones on a new mainframe with more memory and cpus... x86_64 is the same however.
I guess things are okay. I did a build for eln two weeks ago and I don't remember that it had problems. jvanek did a side build the yesterday but I don't know how it went.
I guess leave it as it is for now. You may close this issue.
ok. Please re-open or file a new one if you see it again...
