Stuff to look for in plague 0.4

Quite a few things will change for plague 0.4:
o Single builder, multiple jobs: you'll only have to run one builder instance on
a machine to run multiple build jobs; each builder will be able to build a set
number of jobs at a time (usually equal to # of processors).
- Architectures are autodetected
o New config file format: it's now using ConfigParser, which means more
straightforward and text-friendly config files, for both the server and the
builder.
o Targets get their own config files: each target, on the server and on the
builder, gets its own config file. This means a few things:
- each target can have its own CVS settings
- each target can be a different distribution
o Scratch/Testing targets: targets that don't contribute packages tothe
repository, so you can test out your packages before you actually push them
through. Scratch targets also don't kill a job when one architecture fails.
If anyone has more thoughts, file some RFEs in bugzilla for Fedora Extras
Infrastructure.
