We are aware that the build scheduling is not fair (next release will
solve this once and forever, patches are already merged), but even now
builds in one project can not delay builds in other projects..  We have
50 x86_64 builder machines, and one project can only waste 8 builders at
the same time.  Can you elaborate on the problems you had?  There probably
was much more request from different projects?

Btw., with the next release we'll have much more flexible build spawner,
and in "peak" times it will allow us to have more builders, so please
stay tuned.

FWIW, it seems that there was some issue downloading the upstream repo
information in yesterday's daily sync, and due to this, some packages
that didn't require an update were wrongly indentified as an update.
As a result, there was a peak of builds, but normally only 40-50
packages are updated everyday.

On Saturday, there was also stuck copr-dist-git process so for some
time basically nothing was happening.
Once I restarted the distgit service we were immediately back to ~60
builds running.

That was from around 10:00 UTC (reported on IRC, but it probably
happened minutes or hours earlier)
and was fixed at 10:30 UTC. This _downtime_ was completely unrelated
to iucar/cran project.
